What versions of Windows are compatible with the Blue Prism Trial and Learning Edition?

[chris.strong]

Blue Prism uses a Microsoft SQL Server database as a repository for most data, such as processes, logs, audit, and user information. To keep the installation and setup simple, we deploy Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express LocalDB for you as part of the Blue Prism Trial and Learning Edition.

Microsoft SQL Server 2017 is supported on Windows 8.1 and above and is only available as a 64-bit installation. Therefore, the minimum requirement for Blue Prism Trial and Learning Edition is a 64-bit installation of Windows 8.1 or above.

Hello @MaksymVitsenko

The main thing is Microsoft no longer support Windows 7.

The Blue Prism Trial and Learning Edition currently utilises Microsoft® SQL Server® 2017 Express LocalDB, which doesn't operate on Windows 7.

• See System Requirements > Supported Operating System: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55994

This has not changed since we launched the self-serve Trial and Learning Edition in 2019.

Options:

1. If you are an Enterprise customer, you could choose to deploy a Learning Edition on your computer by manually installing SQL Express and the Enterprise software with a learning licence (available via you account manager)
2. Or, if you're not current customer and looking for a Trial, you could contact our sales team to discuss option for you organisation - https://www.blueprism.com/get-started/
3. Possibly deploy a Windows 10 VM on your Windows 7 device?  

Kind regards
