titleAbout Beta Releases

Suran Systems, Inc. has performed extensive internal testing on DonorWorks 11.1 and feels this beta release is usable for production work. In the event critical issues in DonorWorks 11.1 are discovered, an update to correct those issues will be released ASAP.

Step 1: Check system requirements

macOS

  • macOS 10.13 High Sierra
  • macOS 10.14 Mojave
  • macOS 10.15 Catalina

Windows

Warning

DonorWorks 11.1 WILL NOT RUN on 32-bit Windows operating systems (x86). Ensure ALL clients that will run DonorWorks 11.1 meet these system requirements.

Read more about changing system requirements. CDM+ and DonorWorks share the same system requirements.

  • Windows 7 x64 (Deprecated)
  • Windows 8.1 x64
  • Windows 10 x64
  • Windows Server 2008r2 x64 (Deprecated)
  • Windows Server 2012 x64
  • Windows Server 2016 x64
  • Windows Sever 2019 x64

Step 2: Update DonorWorks Mobile

DonorWorks 11.1 includes support for Mobile Receipts. In additional to the DonorWorks 11.1 beta, you will need access to the beta release of DonorWorks Mobile 2.3. Email support@donorworks.com to request access to the beta. Include:

  • Your organization name
  • For each individual who needs access to DonorWorks Mobile 2.3:
    • Their name
    • Their email address accessible on their device
    • Their platform(s): iOS or Android

You do not need to update all DonorWorks Mobile users to DonorWorks Mobile 2.3. You can elect to provide the beta to only those users wanting access to mobile receipts while other users run the published version of DonorWorks Mobile.

DonorWorks Mobile 2.2 or later is required to access DonorWorks 11.1 databases.
