Portal .NET Requirements?

Question

Hello All,

Just to confirm, Portal itself does not have any requirements for Microsoft .NET correct?

I know that Server has .NET desktop runtime requirements, as does ArcGIS Pro, but there are no requirements for Portal correct?

I ask because we have an end of life .NET desktop runtime on our production portal server and instead of updating it, I would rather remove it if it is not necessary.

Thanks in advance!

Eric

Looking at Portal for ArcGIS 11.3 system requirements—ArcGIS Enterprise | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise, there is no mention of .NET components being a requirement.  Looking at ArcGIS Server 11.3 system requirements—ArcGIS Enterprise | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise, .NET 8 is only required if you are enabling the .NET Extension Support feature.

Since different versions of products have different versions of requirements, and even different requirements entirely at times, it is best to state the version you are using.  Also, ArcGIS Server itself doesn't have any .NET requirements, the .NET Extension Support feature of ArcGIS Server does, but that feature only has to be installed if you are using .NET-based server object extensions (SOEs) and server object interceptors (SOIs).
