B Supported Platforms
ADF Desktop Integration runs in Excel on Windows. This section provides details on which versions are supported. Review this topic carefully to make sure your configuration is supported.
Microsoft Excel
| Excel Version | Support Expires |
|---|---|
| Excel for Microsoft 365 (desktop installation only) | Refer to Microsoft's Modern Lifecycle Policy. |
| Excel 2021 | 2026 |
| Excel 2019 | 2025 |

Note:
Oracle recommends the 32-bit version of Excel whenever possible, as the 64-bit editions have been found to be less stable. Refer to the Microsoft article: 64-bit editions of Office 2013.The following editions of Excel are not supported:
- Excel Online
- Excel for Microsoft 365 installed from the Microsoft Store
- RT editions
- Microsoft 365 provided through the "Beta" and "Preview" update channels. These channels provide experimental versions of Excel.
Microsoft Windows

| 11 | Refer to Microsoft's Lifecycle FAQ for Windows 11. |
| 10 | 2025 |
Note:
Please ensure that your version (or "feature update") of Windows is still in service according to the Microsoft policy. Oracle cannot provide support for versions beyond Microsoft's end of servicing date. See Lifecycle FAQ - Windows.ADF Desktop Integration isn't supported on:
- Windows server editions
- Windows RT editions
- MacOS, iOS, Linux, or any other operating system
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
ADF Desktop Integration was designed and tested to work on regular Windows desktop and laptop computers. A number of vendors offer virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions to provide virtual machines that mimic a standard Windows desktop environment. Some VDI implementations reproduce the standard desktop very closely whereas others are significantly different. Refer to Desktop Virtualization for an overview of this technology.
Oracle does not test ADF Desktop Integration with VDI products formally. VDI products are not supported on an official basis.
Even though it may be possible to run ADF Desktop Integration on some virtual machines successfully, doing so is strictly at your own risk. If you run into problems, you’ll have to reproduce the problem on a standard desktop computer before Oracle Support can assist you. If the problem appears to be a VDI issue, contact your VDI vendor for help.
Microsoft Application Virtualization
Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) is not supported in any version at this time.
Notes
- If a software application or version isn't listed here, it is not supported.
- Later versions of Excel and Windows are not automatically supported when they become available. Support can only be added through an enhancement request.
- Oracle doesn't support ADF Desktop Integration on unsupported software. If a vendor drops support for a given software version, Oracle support ends at the same time. This is true even if the software is listed here.
- Microsoft may not support all possible combinations of their software and operating systems listed here. If Microsoft doesn't support a given combination, Oracle doesn't either. If you're unsure if your versions of Excel and Windows are compatible, consult your software or operating system documentation.
- Support expiration dates are determined by Microsoft support policies. See Microsoft Lifecycle Policy.
