System Requirements

Before installing Adaptive Server version 15.7 SP100, ensure that your system is updated with the latest patches and system requirements. Do not use a patch that is earlier than the version suggested for your operating system. Use the patch recommended by the operating system vendor, even if it supersedes the patch listed.

Identify the Windows Service Pack level from Control Panel > System, or by running the winver command.
