Microsoft Internet Explorer 10+	supported, see notes	supported, see notes	supported	supported	For Meridian Enterprise: On Windows 64-bit operating systems, Internet Explorer 10 and 11 open web pages in 32-bit processes. This is for backward compatibility with ActiveX components. Therefore, Meridian Enterprise installs and runs 32-bit components, particularly for viewing documents. The 64-bit components can be run if the Enable Protected Mode and Enable Enhanced Protected Mode options are both enabled. The Display intranet sites in Compatibility View option must be disabled. The MeridianPowerWeb site must be added to the Trusted sites zone. When used in combination with Windows 7 on the client PC and Windows authentication enabled in IIS 7, 7.5, or 8 on the web server, can cause the application to stop working when importing multiple documents. The problem does not occur with Basic authentication enabled, with IIS 8.5, or newer versions of Windows on the client PC. For Explorer: Supported only in Edge document mode. For information about possible workarounds, see “How to fix browser detection on a Meridian Explorer web server” in the Accruent knowledge base. The Display intranet sites in Compatibility View option must be disabled. The MeridianPowerWeb site must be added to the Trusted sites zone.
