System Requirements
Minimum requirements for running the MaxRMM agent on Windows endpoints.
Operating System
| OS | Supported Versions | Architecture |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 10 | 1809 and later (all editions) | x64 |
| Windows 11 | All versions | x64 |
| Windows Server 2016 | All editions | x64 |
| Windows Server 2019 | All editions | x64 |
| Windows Server 2022 | All editions | x64 |
| Windows Server 2025 | All editions | x64 |
Note: 32-bit (x86) Windows is not supported. ARM64 devices (e.g., Surface Pro X with Windows on ARM) are not currently supported.
Runtime Dependencies
| Dependency | Minimum Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| .NET Framework | 4.8 or later | Pre-installed on Windows 10 1903+. Check with reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" /v Release |
| PowerShell | 5.1 or later | Pre-installed on Windows 10+. Required for script execution and patch management. |
Hardware
The MaxRMM agent is lightweight and has minimal hardware impact:
| Resource | Requirement |
|---|---|
| RAM | ~15-25 MB typical working set |
| Disk | ~20 MB installed size + up to 50 MB for logs |
| CPU | Negligible — telemetry collection runs on a timer (default: every 60 seconds) |
Network Requirements
The agent communicates with MaxRMM cloud services over HTTPS and secure WebSockets. The following outbound connections must be allowed:
| Destination | Port | Protocol | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
agents.maxrmm.com | 443 | WSS (WebSocket over TLS) | Primary agent-to-server communication: telemetry, commands, real-time updates |
api.maxrmm.com | 443 | HTTPS | Agent registration and key validation |
releases.maxrmm.com | 443 | HTTPS | Agent binary downloads and auto-updates |
Firewall note: Only outbound port 443 is required. The agent does not listen on any inbound ports. If your network uses a proxy, configure the system proxy in Windows — the agent respects system proxy settings.
Antivirus Exclusions
Most antivirus products will not flag the MaxRMM agent. However, if your AV or EDR solution blocks the agent, add these exclusions:
- Process:
C:\Program Files\MaxRMM\maxrmm-agent.exe - Folder:
C:\Program Files\MaxRMM\ - Service:
MaxRMM Agent
Browser Requirements (Dashboard)

- Google Chrome 90+
- Microsoft Edge 90+
