Software requirements

Note: This product includes OpenSSL version 1.1.1c.

The setup file will check your machine for whether the prerequisite software is installed and will install any missing prerequisites and the product components.

Eclipse requirements

The setup file installs Enterprise Developer and the 64-bit Eclipse 4.8.
Some earlier versions of Eclipse are also supported. See Installing Enterprise Developer into other instances of Eclipse in the Advanced Installation Tasks.
A 64-bit Windows is required. Enterprise Developer installs fully only on 64-bit Windows platforms. On 32-bit Windows, the setup file does not install some of the components. See Issues with the Installation in Known Issues and Restrictions.
Enterprise Developer supports both the 32-bit and the 64-bit Eclipse. You can use the 64-bit Eclipse to create both 32-bit and 64-bit applications.

Software requirements on Windows

Java 8 (64-bit) is required to run the Eclipse IDE. The minimum recommended version is AdoptOpenJDK's OpenJDK 8 (u202) with Hotspot, which the Windows product installs automatically. Java 8 (32 or 64-bit versions), and Java 11 (64-bit version only) are supported for executing JVM COBOL code and for native COBOL and Java interoperability. You can download AdoptOpenJDK's OpenJDK 8 with Hotspot from AdoptOpenJDK's Web site and unpack the archive anywhere on your machine.
Note: Eclipse does not run using Java 11.
Enterprise Developer requires:
- A 32-bit Java installation if using the 32-bit Eclipse.
- A 64-bit Java installation if using the 64-bit Eclipse.
The setup file also installs Microsoft's Visual C++ 2012, 2013 and 2017 Redistributables.

See Java Support Restrictions in the product help for any considerations when using Eclipse and Java.

Other Requirements

Important: For local servers, you do not need to install the Micro Focus License Administration tool separately, as the setup file installs a new Enterprise Developer client and a new licensing server on the same machine.

If you have any network license servers, you must update them before you update the client machines.

If you are upgrading from Enterprise Developer release 2.2 or earlier, uninstall the license manager before installing the product.

You can download the new version of the license server software from the Micro Focus SupportLine Web site: http://supportline.microfocus.com.
