Systems running on server hardware need to use server operating systems such as Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003. Server operating systems are designed for servicing entire systems rather than individual computers or small networks and so are better suited for larger SCADA Expert ClearSCADA systems with more than two clients.
Systems running on desktop hardware should run desktop operating systems such as Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP. Desktop operating systems are designed for user interaction on the computer on which they are installed.
Desktop operating systems should not be used for servers with more than two clients as the TCP/IP security measures in these operating systems can cause significant delays.

SCADA Expert ClearSCADA also requires Internet Explorer 8, 9 or 10 for both software installation and web-based operation. WebX does not support other browsers.
Please refer to the Known Issues for more details about compatibility issues between ClearSCADA 2013 R1 and Internet Explorer 9/10.
Please note that the PLC Driver in ClearSCADA (KEPServerEX) is not compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems. The driver may not run properly if installed on these operating systems.
