Software
RedRat Windows Software

RedRat Windows software uses the .NET Framework. This is installed on most PCs, but if not can be installed via Windows Update or directly downloaded from the Microsoft .NET website. The .NET version needed depends on the RedRat application being used and its version - see the bottom of the page to find out more.

All software listed here is freely available to RedRat customers.
