Hub Computers

Windows Computers

The Windows computer requires a minimum of the Microsoft .Net 4.7 Framework installed. Typically, this is already installed and the version can be identified using these instructions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/how-to-determine-which-versions-are-installed.

The minimum supported operating system versions are x64 for Windows 10 version 1607, and/or Windows Server 2016. We recommend that you run the hub from a server to enable maximum up-time for your hub and service. The installation of multiple hubs is supported as this allows for service resilience and accurate reporting.

You will need to be able to have Administrator level security rights to those systems for installation of the morbit hub.
