To use Access databases for project management and the dictionary, the Microsoft operating system must be installed in the 64-bit version. Microsoft Office applications that may be installed must also be in the 64-bit version throughout.

If you have installed the Microsoft Office applications in the 32-bit version, you must use SQL Server databases for project management and the dictionary.

For the operation of the EPLAN Platform 2023 / 2024 an installation / use of the Office products is no longer necessary. Any Office product can be used to process exported data in Excel format.
