Summary

This article lists operating system, web browser, and database compatibility information for Laserfiche. The lowest listed versions are the minimum requirements.

The current version of Laserfiche 12, Laserfiche 11, Laserfiche 10.4, and locally installed components of Laserfiche Cloud support the following operating systems (unless otherwise indicated):

Server Operating Systems:

• Windows Server 2025
• Windows Server 2022
• Windows Server 2019

Laserfiche software requires Windows Server with Desktop Experience.
Server Core installations of Windows Server operating systems are not supported.
Laserfiche will support operating systems through their end of support date as stated by their manufacturer. In cases where this article, the documentation included with the software, and the manufacturer's documentation differ, the manufacturer's end of support date will be used unless otherwise indicated in this article.

Self-hosted Laserfiche applications are not containerized. Laserfiche does not support their deployment with Docker, Kubernetes ("K8s"), or other such container technologies.

Desktop Operating Systems:

• Windows 11
• Windows 10

Home editions of Windows desktop operating systems are not supported.
Except for the Laserfiche Integration with Microsoft Teams, locally-installed Laserfiche components are not supported on MacOS. Mac users can use any web-based Laserfiche application functionality that does not require a locally-installed component (e.g., desktop Office Integration, Snapshot, Scanning, etc.).

Note: Laserfiche will support operating systems through their end of support date as stated by their manufacturer. In cases where this article, the documentation included with the software, and the manufacturer's documentation differ, the manufacturer's end of support date will be used unless otherwise indicated in this article.

Web Browsers

• Recent versions of Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox
• Safari on Mac OS and iOS are supported for interacting with the repository and filling out forms.

Database Engines:

• Any Laserfiche 12, 11 or 10.4 system with Laserfiche Forms requires Microsoft SQL Server 2014 SP3 or above
• Express editions of Microsoft SQL Server versions are supported, but are only suitable for repositories of fewer than one million pages and five or fewer simultaneously-connected users. Larger or more frequently-accessed repositories will see significant performance issues when using Microsoft SQL Server Express. Similarly, if used with Workflow or Forms, SQL Express is only suitable for infrequent use.
• Laserfiche supports Amazon RDS for SQL Server running a supported version of SQL Server
• Laserfiche supports Azure SQL Managed Instance
• Laserfiche supports Azure SQL Database, with the constraint that External Tables for Dynamic Fields in Laserfiche repositories must be created within the repository database itself since Azure SQL Database does not currently fully support cross-database queries
• Laserfiche does not support SQL database in Microsoft Fabric

Laserfiche will support database engines through their end-of support date as stated by their manufacturer. In cases where the documentation included with the software, this article and the manufacturer's documentation differ, the manufacturer's end-of support date will be used unless otherwise indicated in this article.
