Polar software products requiring the Microsoft .NET Framework

Products requiring the .NET Frameworks should find the software works without further intervention on Windows 10/11. Should a Windows Features message alert you then download and install the .NET Framework version as required – as of January 2024 .Net Framework 4.8 is the minimum requirement.

Speedstack, Si8000m / Si9000e TRC, CGen and Si Excel x64 v24.xx onwards require .NET Framework 4.8 runtime libraries.  The latest editions of Windows 10 / 11 include the Framework 4.xx runtime libraries as part of the Windows distribution.

Speedstack, Si8000m / Si9000e TRC, CGen and Si Excel x64 v23.xx and earlier require the .NET Framework 3.5 runtime libraries.  When running the application on Windows 10 / 11 systems for the first time you might be prompted to install the .NET Framework 3.5.

Download .NET Framework 3.5
