Companion products
  1. Application Migration (optional)

  2. WakeUp (optional)

The following lists are combinations of products compatible with Shopping 6.1:

  • 1E Client 8.1, Nomad 8.1, Tachyon Platform 8.1, Application Migration 8.1, AppClarity 8.1

  • 1E Client 8.0, Nomad 8.0, Tachyon Platform 8.0, Application Migration 8.0, AppClarity 8.0

  • 1E Client 5.2, Nomad 7.1, Tachyon Platform 5.2, Application Migration 3.1, AppClarity 7.1

Note

If you are implementing self-service OS deployment through Shopping, using either the Windows Servicing Assistant or the OS Deployment Wizard, then you will need to install Tachyon and Application Migration to support migration of applications during the OS deployment.

Application Migration supersedes the App Mapping feature in earlier versions of Shopping that required AppClarity 5.2 to provide application usage information to Shopping. Shopping integration with AppClarity 5.2 is no longer available or supported, so you will need to move to using Application Migration.

Others
  1. SMTP/Exchange server

  2. Active Directory

  1. Access to an SMTP or Exchange server.

  2. Access to Active Directory. Where AD groups are specified for accounts with an associated group email address, you must have Exchange server for email notifications to be sent to all members of the group.

Browsers

Latest version of:

  • Google Chrome

  • Internet Explorer 11

  • Microsoft Edge (Chromium)

  • Mozilla Firefox

Computers running these browsers support access to the Shopping portal for various purposes. Please refer to Shopping Web administration.

Note

  • Where localization for Portuguese is enabled, the language-code is pt-BR (Portuguese-Brazil)

  • Firefox requires the option Firefox support enabled set to True in the Shopping admin console. This option is set to False by default. Changing this value will require an IIS reset for the Shopping website and a 1E client service restart on the user's device before it comes into effect. This is not required if the Shopping website is accessed using HTTP.

Warning

Recent versions of browsers issue warnings when connecting to HTTP websites.

Notes

Client OS
  • Windows 10 CB 21H2

  • Windows 11 CB 21H2

  • Windows 10 CB 21H1

  • Windows 10 CB 20H2

  • Windows 10 CB 2004

  • Windows 10 CB 1909

The Shopping client module in 1E Client contains the following:

    • Shopping client - this provides the loopback feature

    • Windows Servicing Assistant - WSA

Shopping client is available in 1E Client, as described in Preparation: 1E Client.

  • 1E Client 5.0 or later must be used if TLS 1.0 is disabled in your environment, or if you wish to use the WSA enhancements introduced in Shopping 5.5.200.

  • If you are using 1E Client 5.0 then it must have the latest hotfix applied if you are using the Microsoft Intune integration.

  • The Nomad client module must be enabled if WSA is used to manage content and storage of user state using custom task sequence steps that are implemented with it.

Systems running these client OS will support the Shopping client module in 1E Client 5.0 or later.

Note

The list in the Product column only shows OS versions in mainstream support by Microsoft, and therefore supported by 1E, and by Shopping 6.1. However, the following legacy OS continue to be supported as exceptions to help customers during their migration to the latest OS:

  • Windows 8.1

Shopping's Intune integration feature is not supported on any legacy OS. Please be aware that Microsoft Intune has very limited support for application deployment on Windows 8.1, especially for enterprise application types.

Please refer to Constraints of Legacy OS regarding end of mainstream support.Constraints of Legacy OS

Runtime libraries
  • .NET Framework 4.8

  • .NET Framework 4.7.2

The Shopping client module in 1E Client contains the following:

    • Shopping client - this provides the loopback feature, and does not require .NET Framework

    • WSA - the WSA executable requires one of these versions of .NET Framework

Constraints of Legacy OS

In this documentation, the following are referred to as legacy OS. Below are described some known issues for these OS.

1E does not provide support for 1E products on the following OS unless the OS is explicitly listed as being supported for a specific 1E product or product feature. This is because Microsoft has ended mainstream support for these OS or they are not significantly used by business organizations.

  • Windows XP *

  • Windows Vista

  • Windows 7

  • Windows 8.0

  • Windows 8.1

  • Windows Server 2003 *

  • Windows Server 2008

  • Windows Server 2008 R2

  • Windows Server 2012

  • Windows Server 2012 R2

Note

1E Client and later will not install on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Please contact 1E if you intend to continue using any of the other legacy OS. If you experience an issue, then please try replicating the issue on a supported OS.

For Microsoft product lifecycle details, please refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search.

Certificate limitations - expired root certificates

Ensure that your Root CA Certificates are up-to-date on clients and servers. The Automatic Root Certificates Update feature is enabled by default, but its configuration may have been changed or restricted by Group Policy Turn off Automatic Root Certificates Update.

If this GPO is enabled, then you will see DisableRootAutoUpdate = 1 (dword) in HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot.

Certificate limitations - signing certificates missing

On Windows computers, the installation MSI files, and binary executable and DLL files of 1E software are digitally signed. The 1E code signing certificate uses a timestamping certificate as its countersignature. 1E occasionally changes its code signing certificate, and uses it for new releases and patches for older versions, as shown in the table(s) below.

Root Certificate Authorities are implicitly trusted to validate certificates, and their certificates must be correctly installed to do this. Your computers should already have the necessary root CA certificates installed, however this may have been prevented by your organization's security policies, or inability to connect to the Internet, or they are legacy OS. In general this is not an issue because by default Windows allows software to be installed and run without validation, although you may see a warning or experience a delay. However, you must have relevant CA certificates installed if you are using 1E Client (which self-validates its own files), or your organization has applied more secure polices (for example UAC, AppLocker or SmartScreen).

Typical reasons for issues with signing certificate are:

  • If your organization has disabled Automatic Root Certificates Update then you must ensure the relevant root CA certificates are correctly installed on each computer

  • If computers do not have access to the Internet then you must ensure the relevant root and issuing CA certificates are correctly installed on each computer, numbered in the table(s) below.

The signature algorithm of the 1E code signing certificate is SHA256RSA. In most cases, the file digest algorithm of an authenticode signature is SHA256, and the countersignature is a RFC3161 compliant timestamp. The exception is on legacy OS (Windows XP, Vista, Server 2003 and Server 2008) which require the file digest algorithm of an authenticode signature to be SHA1, and a legacy countersignature.

The table below applies to software and hotfixes released in 2020.
