SharePoint 2013 and .net framework compatibility

Question

SharePoint 2013 and .net framework compatibility

Tanmoy Das 806

Hi Guys,

I have a couple of doubts to clarify

1) Is SharePoint 2013 compatible with the latest .net framework version or any version after 4.5?

2) How can we check what ".net framework" version is installed in my SharePoint server?

3) Can we upgrade from 4 to 4.5 in an existing SharePoint 2013 farm?

Will it cause any outage?

Please share link/s in reference to your reply

Many Thanks

1.SharePoint 2013 is compatible with versions higher than .net framework 4.5.
Reference:

2.You could check the version of .net framework by using following PowerShell.

Set-Location ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Client’  
Get-ItemProperty -Path . | Select-Object Version

3.You could install .net framework 4.5 without outage.

After installing 4.5 can it break SharePoint 2013?

Do I need to select 4.5 in the application pools?

It will not break SharePoint 2013. You don't need to select 4.5 in the application pools.

.NET Framework 4.5 is an in-place update that replaces .NET Framework 4 on your computer, and similarly, .NET Framework 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, and 4.8 are in-place updates to .NET Framework 4.5. In-place update means that they use the same runtime version, but the assembly versions are updated and include new types and members.
