You are currently viewing documentation for CompuTec AppEngine 2.0 (.NET Framework), which is still supported.
We recommend upgrading to CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 built on .NET 8, which provides better performance and a modern, centralized installation process for CompuTec ProcessForce and other CompuTec solutions.
However, please note that CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 has a different architecture, and all CompuTec components need to be updated together to ensure full compatibility.
Please review the CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 documentation before starting your installation or upgrade process.
