Installing Micros Res 5.5 on Windows Server 2012

[JosueICR]

Hi Guys, we need to update our windows 2003 server to make them compliant with PCI, due that this represent a major effort, we would like to install a newer OS like Windows 2012 or windows 2016, but the compatibility table from Oracle said that Res. 5.5. is only supported on windows server 2008. Does any of you had installed and successfully used Micros Res 5.5. on windows 2012 or windows 2016?

Thanks in advance

Josue

Res 5.6 is good on Windows 2012 and 2016. Patch up to that?

Thanks Wildbar, we are planning to install Res 5.4 and then patch up to 5.5, we are not able to install 5.6 because we need to keep compatibility with EM that has some stores with RES 4.7. EM 5.6 only could send packets to Rest 5.0 and up.

Any Suggestions?

Regards.

RES 5.5 is not supported in windows 2012. Res 5.6 is.

If you really want to use RES and EM 5.5 you can use some sort of virtual image with os windows 10/7 then run the virtual image on windows 2012.
You can always buy a cheap computer until you upgrade to EM 5.6 and and then run it on windows 2012
