# App-V Supported Configurations

**Applies to**
-   Windows 10, version 1607; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012; and Windows Server 2008 R2

This topic specifies the requirements to install and run App-V in your Windows 10 environment. For information about prerequisite software such as the .NET Framework, see [App-V Prerequisites](appv-prerequisites.md).

## App-V Server system requirements

This section lists the operating system and hardware requirements for all of the App-V server components.

### Unsupported App-V server scenarios

The App-V server does not support the following scenarios:

-   Deployment to a computer that runs the Server Core installation option.

-   Deployment to a computer that runs a previous version of the App-V server components. You can install App-V side by side with the App-V 4.5 Lightweight Streaming Server (LWS) server only. Deployment of App-V side by side with the Application Virtualization Management Service (HWS) 4.x is not supported.

-   Deployment to a computer that runs Microsoft SQL Server Express edition.

-   Deployment to a domain controller.

-   Short paths. If you plan to use a short path, you must create a new volume.

### Management server operating system requirements

The App-V Management server can be installed on a server that runs Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 or later.

> [!IMPORTANT]  
> Deployment of the Management server role to a computer with Remote Desktop Services enabled is not supported.

 

### Management server hardware requirements

-   Processor—1.4 GHz or faster, 64-bit (x64) processor

-   RAM—1 GB RAM (64-bit)

-   Disk space—200 MB available hard disk space, not including the content directory

### Management server database requirements

The following table lists the SQL Server versions that are supported for the App-V Management database installation.

### Publishing server operating system requirements

The App-V Publishing server can be installed on a server that runs Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 or later.


### Publishing server hardware requirements

App-V adds no additional requirements beyond those of Windows Server.

-   Processor—1.4 GHz or faster, 64-bit (x64) processor

-   RAM—2 GB RAM (64-bit)

-   Disk space—200 MB available hard disk space, not including the content directory

### Reporting server operating system requirements

The App-V Reporting server can be installed on a server that runs Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 or later. 

### Reporting server hardware requirements

App-V adds no additional requirements beyond those of Windows Server.

-   Processor—1.4 GHz or faster, 64-bit (x64) processor

-   RAM—2 GB RAM (64-bit)

-   Disk space—200 MB available hard disk space

### Reporting server database requirements

## App-V client requirements and Remote Desktop Services client requirements

With Windows 10, version 1607 and later releases, the App-V client is included with Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education. The App-V client is no longer part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack. Before you can use the App-V client, it must be enabled, as described in [Enable the App-V desktop client](appv-enable-the-app-v-desktop-client.md).

Similarly, the App-V Remote Desktop Services (RDS) client is included with Windows Server 2016 Standard and Windows Server 2016 Datacenter.

## Sequencer system requirements
