Note
As per Microsoft's .NET Framework Support Policy, versions 4.5.2, 4.6, and 4.6.1 will reach end of support on April 26, 2022. We do not support these versions starting with Hazelcast 4. We recommend that all Hazelcast 3 users migrate to at least .NET Framework 4.6.2, and ideally to .NET Framework 4.8.
As per Microsoft's .NET and .NET Core Support Policy and LifeCycle, versions 2.1 to 5.0 and 7.0 are not supported anymore. We recommend that all users use versions of .NET supported by Microsoft.
