# System compatibility for Nutrient .NET SDK

This guide provides an overview of system compatibility for Nutrient.NET SDK (formerly GdPicture.NET).

## Deployment

Nutrient.NET SDK assemblies are available for the following frameworks:

-.NET 8.0 LTS

-.NET 4.6.2

- COM/ActiveX

You can deploy your application to different operating systems using various Nutrient.NET SDK assemblies, as shown in the table below.

| Nutrient.NET SDK assembly | Operating systems supported for deployment                                                                                                  |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|.NET 8.0 or newer          | Linux x64
Linux arm64
Microsoft Windows 10 or newer
Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (x64) or newer
macOS 13 |
|.NET 4.6.2                 | Microsoft Windows 10 (x64/x86) or newer
Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (x64/x86) or newer                                            |
| COM/ActiveX                | Microsoft Windows 10 (x64/x86) or newer
Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (x64/x86) or newer                                            |

\* The.NET 8.0 assembly on Linux requires GLIBC 2.28 or newer.

All Nutrient.NET SDK versions are compiled using the AnyCPU platform target.

DocuVieware can be deployed on a Windows or Linux server. If installing on a Linux server,.NET 8.0 is required, and the GLIBC library minimum version should be 2.28.

For more information on these frameworks, refer to the [Microsoft documentation](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/).

## Cross-platform assembly

It’s recommended to use the.NET 8.0 assembly that supports deployment to multiple platforms.

### Windows-only features

In addition to the [cross-platform assembly](https://www.nutrient.io/api/gdpicture/GdPicture.NET.14.API.html), an alternative assembly is available for Windows platforms only. This assembly expands the core capacities of Nutrient.NET SDK with:

- WinForms and WPF user controls

- Printing support

- TWAIN and WIA acquisition support

- Other minor Windows-specific functionalities

### Cross-platform types

In the [cross-platform assembly](https://www.nutrient.io/api/gdpicture/GdPicture.NET.14.API.html), the following Windows-specific types are mapped to new types:

| Windows-specific type | Cross-platform type                              |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `Color`               | `GdPicture14.Imaging.GdPictureColor`             |
| `PixelFormat`         | `GdPicture14.Imaging.GdPicturePixelFormat`       |
| `RectangleF`          | `GdPicture14.Imaging.GdPictureRectangleF`        |
| `Rectangle`           | `GdPicture14.Imaging.GdPictureRectangle`         |
| `FontStyle`           | `GdPicture14.Imaging.GdPictureFontStyle`         |
| `Point`               | `GdPicture14.Imaging.GdPicturePoint`             |
| `FillMode`            | `GdPicture14.Imaging.GdPictureFillMode`          |
| `InterpolationMode`   | `GdPicture14.Imaging.GdPictureInterpolationMode` |
| `RotateFlipType`      | `GdPicture14.GdPictureRotateFlipType`            |
