System requirements for AB Commander

The installation and operation of AB Commander software is supported on the versions of Windows that are fully supported by Microsoft. At the time of this writing, the supported versions of Windows are:

Windows 11
Windows 10
Windows Server 2022 (with Desktop experience)
Windows Server 2019 (with Desktop experience)
Windows Server 2016 (with Desktop experience)

Both the 32- and 64-bit editions (including ARM64) of Windows are supported. (AB Commander is a native 64-bit application when installed on 64-bit Windows.)

AB Commander may be able to work on the following older versions of Windows in the test signing mode:

Windows 8.1
Windows 7 with Service Pack 1
Windows Server 2012 (with Desktop experience)
Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Desktop experience)

IMPORTANT: For each supported version of Windows, all available service packs and Windows updates must be installed. If your computer is not set to install updates automatically, use Windows Update to check for available updates and install them. AB Commander may not work properly if the latest updates are not installed.

Note that some features of AB Commander depend on support from Windows and not all versions and editions of Windows provide such support equally well. You are strongly advised to try the software before purchasing it to verify it's working well enough in your particular software environment.

AB Commander may work with some of the older versions of Windows, such as Windows XP, Vista, or Windows Server 2003 or 2008, but we do not support such configurations. You are advised to thoroughly test the software on the unsupported versions of Windows prior to purchasing it, to make sure it operates according to your requirements "out of the box".

AB Commander is NOT compatible with Windows 95, 98, Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 or any older version of Windows.
