.NET Cleanup
We are running Devolutions Server and Console version 2026.7.0. We received a request to remove obsolete versions of .NET 5 and 6. There are a few different installs on the server and I need to confirm what can be removed
Microsoft .NET Windows Server Hosting - 8, 9 and 10
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, 6 and 8
Microsoft ASP .NET Core 6 and 8

Hello,
The latest version of DVLS is built on .NET 10, so it no longer requires the older .NET 5 or .NET 6 runtimes.
If your server is only hosting the latest version of DVLS, you can safely remove the older .NET 5 and .NET 6 runtimes, provided they are not being used by any other applications installed on the server. Keeping the .NET 8, .NET 9, and .NET 10 hosting bundles is recommended if you have applications that depend on those versions.

This is a dedicated server, even the database is on a different server - its just Devolutions. You mentioned .Net 5, I did not ask about 5, we have "4.5". So 8 is not required by Devolutions either.
Hello,
Since this is a dedicated server running only the latest version of Devolutions Server, you can uninstall all older .NET runtimes and hosting bundles that are not required by other applications.
For DVLS 2026.7.0, only .NET 10 is required. Therefore, you can safely remove the .NET Framework/.NET runtime and ASP.NET Core/Hosting Bundle versions other than .NET 10, provided no other software on the server depends on them.
Best regards,

Thank you, that answers my questions
