Running FM 11 Server on MS Windows 7

[mleiser]

I received an answer that fm server 11 can run on windows 7. I asked if I need the professional or ultimate and haven't received an answer. Does anyone know which one I should get? Thanks.

Professional. It's the only one that can be joined to a domain.

Not the best server OS though so I don't recommend runnint it on Windows 7.

Thanks. I currently have an xp workstation running the fm9 server and it works fine for us. Now that I want to move to 11 server, I have a vista workstation available. Being a school with limited funding I need to do this the least expensive way and I already have the vista machine that I can dedicate to the 11 server. That's why I'm figuring on updating to windows 7 - it's $199 at staples. Do you feel this is a bad move? If the xp with server 9 is working, will this do as well? By the way, I bought your server 11 video. Thanks for the clear explanations.

Server 11 will not run on Windows XP. Nor will it run on Vista.

Use Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008. See the Tech Specs page on the FMI web site.
