Can Metastorm Provision version 6.1 be installed on WIN7 machine, i am getting an error "The current version not compatible" with WIN7. Please suggest if any workaround? Thanks in advance.

Hi PPaul,

 

Please note, ProVision v6.1.x is unsupported to run on Windows 7.  I would advise upgrading to v 6.2.4 if you would like to run ProVision on Windows 7.

 

There is a workaround though.  You can change the installer to run in compatibility mode (Right click the installer -> Properties -> Change the compatibility mode to something like WindowsXP).  To run PV in this compatibility mode you will need to connect to a Floating License Server as a Remote Desktop Protocol session gets invoked (basically Win7 creates a virtualized WinXP session to run the installer and subsequently run ProVision).  Node locked licensing does not work if RDP gets invoked.
