LucaNet.Web Client can be used on MS Windows and Linux with no restrictions. On macOS, LucaNet.Web Client can only be used if LucaNet.Financial OLAP Server is running on Linux or MS Windows. The reason for this is that the server component LucaNet.Web Server, which reads the data from LucaNet.Financial OLAP Server to display in the web browser, can only be installed as a service. Under macOS, however, installation as a service is not possible.

LucaNet.Web Server is updated automatically together with LucaNet.Financial OLAP Server.
