Software and hardware requirements until end of 2025

Further information and the current version of this Microsoft component are available for download from the Microsoft website.

The following Microsoft .NET framework is required to operate the Eplan platform:

    Eplan Electric P81, Eplan Fluid1, Eplan Pro Panel, Eplan Harness proD, Eplan Cable proD
Version Up to 2.8 2.9 up to 2023 As of 2024

.NET Framework

 4.8.1     X
4.7.2   X  
4.5.2 X    

1 As of Version 2026 Eplan Fluid is part of Eplan Electric P8.

Note

When switching to .NET Framework 4.8.1 as of Eplan Platform Version 2024 and Eplan Harness proD Version 2024

  • Existing offline API programs can no longer be run directly with Eplan Platform 2024. They have be recompiled once with the .NET Framework 4.8.1.

    • An API program adapted in this way can be run with Eplan Platform 2024 and with the older Eplan Platform versions 2.9, 2023 and 2022.

  • API add-ins should not be compiled - this means that they remain executable in the Eplan Platform version in which they were created and in all newer versions of the Eplan Platform.

    • API add-ins compiled with the .NET Framework 4.8.1 are only executable in the Eplan Platform Version 2024 and higher.

The computer platform is a PC with an Intel Core i5, i7, i9 or compatible processor.

Recommended workstation configuration
CPU Multicore processor based on x64 architecture like Intel i5, i7, i9 or compatible with the instruction set AVX2
RAM 16 GB
Harddrive 500 GB
GPU AMD or NVIDIA with the latest Direct3D driver (comparable graphics performance as a RTX 3050 board with at least 4GB VRAM)
Monitor / graphics solution

2-screen solution with a resolution of at least 1920 x 1080,

recommended 2560 x 1440

Note

Please do not use Microsoft OneDrive (or similar systems) as storage systems for multi-user work with Eplan products. This can damage your Eplan projects.

The usage of a CPU with the instruction set AVX2 is required to run the Eplan Platform 2024 and higher.

  • Hardware components such as the processor used are also checked for compatibility when Eplan starts. An error message could indicate hardware at this point in which processors with instruction sets unsuitable for Eplan are still installed. These are usually processors that are older than approx. 10 years.
  • If Eplan is also to be executable on virtual computers, the two processor options "CompatibilityForOlderOperatingSystemsEnabled" and "CompatibilityForMigrationEnabled" have to be deactivated when Hyper-V is used.

WebView2 Runtime from Microsoft is required to run the Eplan Platform 2024 and higher.

  • A check is carried out when Eplan is started. An error message could indicate the missing installation of WebView2 Runtime at this point.

    • As a rule WebView2 Runtime is already installed as part of the operating system.

Note

Approval of the patches:

Due to changes in the Windows DCOM server security settings, problems may occur when using an Eplan network license in conjunction with cross-domain use or the possibility to operate a failover. The changes will be implemented via the security updates from Microsoft. This does not affect the use of a local license. Please update to the latest Eplan License Client and License Manager.

The latest version can be found on our web pages:

Tip

Updates of the SQL Servers can be found on the Internet pages from Microsoft.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/sql/database-engine/install-windows/latest-updates-for-microsoft-sql-server

1 The Eplan parts management requires the 'SQL Server 2012 Native Client' driver for the connection to an SQL server.

The current version of this driver for downloading can be found on the Internet pages of the Microsoft Download Center.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=50402

We additionally support the operation of 'SQL Server on Azure virtual computers'.

2 The Eplan parts management requires Microsoft ODBC driver 17 for SQL Server.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/download-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver16#version-17

3 Starting with Eplan 2026, you can choose between ODBC versions 17 and 18.

Microsoft Azure

During the operation of the Eplan Platform in a virtualized environment a limitation / deviation of the functionality or a different system behavior (e.g. performance) can occur due to the system.

This behavior can usually be compensated for by a corresponding system configuration in Azure or by the connections of the end devices.
