You're 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.
However, please note that it’s a different architecture, and all CompuTec components need to be updated.
Please get familiar with the CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 documentation before installing it: https://learn.computec.one/docs/appengine
