All of these operating systems support Microsoft .NET Framework v4.6.2.

SQL Server Compatibility

If SQL is ALREADY on your computer:

• The Doors.NET installer will poll the host computer and use the SQL version that is already installed. This is true for both new Doors.NET installations and for Doors.NET upgrades.

For new Doors.NET installations on computers WITHOUT SQL installed:

64-bit computers:

• If SQL server is not present, then SQL Server 2016 Express will be installed.

32-bit computers:

• The Doors.NET installer will install clients and gateways, but WILL NOT INSTALL SQL. You will have to manually install the SQL revision appropriate for your operating system.
• Keri recommends installing SQL Server 2014 (the last SQL Server supporting 32-bit computers).
  SQL Server versions 2008 and 2012 are also compatible.

General Notes:

• Effective from Doors.NET v4.0.3 - the Doors.NET system administrator password will be encrypted. In the event that you lose your administrator password you will need to call tech support to obtain a new password.

• Effective from Doors.NET v4.0.2, the Photo ID client can no longer be activated via the internet. Instead you must use the 'Phone Activation' method. The is due to a company policy change with the third party vendor, ImageWare Systems. For Phone activation, contact ImageWare Systems - www.iwsinc.com/about/contact

• All future versions of Doors.NET will be available from the Software Downloads section of the Kerisys.com website and will be in the form of regular, incremental releases.

• SQL 2005 will NOT install on operating systems Windows 8 and higher.
• SQL 2016 will NOT install on any 32-bit computer starting with Windows 7 and higher.
• A Windows 7 OS can support SQL 2005 (the last Windows operating system able to do so).

Program Improvements

In Doors.NET for All Products

• Corrected an issue when controlling Readers via Live Events where selecting an action for one reader affected other readers as well.

• Corrected an issue that prevented RIM firmware from being updated on an NXT controller.
• Corrected an issue that allowed a user to assign the same ID number to multiple Time Schedules.
• Corrected several report export issues. Temporarily disabled XLS export from Global Linkage due to support issues with the report tool set.
• Added the Farpointe Conekt mobile credential reader to the recognized reader list.
• Corrected on-screen focus and cell highlighting issues when setting Holiday dates.

• Added Secondary Request to Exit message type to Global Linkage Service options for NXT, PXL, and Entraguard models.

• Corrected an issue with Retrieving Alerts in the case of an alert generating event being archived before the Operator retrieved the alert.

• Corrected an issue with editing a Global Linkage Macro "New Item" label.

• Corrected a grid refresh issue when setting up Global Linkages.

• Added the ability to access controller configuration web pages directly from within Doors.NET (instead of having to log in using a web browser).

• Character scanning added to the Time & Attendance sync service to ensure quote characters are entered correctly, automatically correcting any improperly entered quote characters.

• Corrected an issue where a request to download selected cardholders could result in all cardholders being downloaded.

• Added configuration value checks to ensure a user cannot set unreasonable values that could affect controller performance.

• Corrected a UI grid update issue when adding a global linkage to a host schedule.

• Added the ability to change an Access Group in the Mass Edit cardholders window.
• Corrected an Access Group viewing issue for operators with limited permissions.

• Corrected an issue with AutoConfig that did not correctly track manually removed readers.

• Corrected a REX2 assignment mapping issue with 4x4 inputs.

• Modified the SQL database to display asterisks in the SQL password field and to authenticate on the password hash field. You now cannot see the password or change it in the database, and cannot copy the password value from one login to another.

• Added strict checking to the User Interface to ensure all property assignments are removed from a reader prior to allowing the reader to be removed from the system. A list of properties to be unassigned prior to removal is now displayed.

• Allowed additional data fields to be used in advanced search criteria and for data export.

• Corrected an issue with Templates saving the Company Name data field.
