According to support, Amcrest Surveillance Pro only works on desktop versions of Windows 10/11. This creates a tricky licensing issue in the business environment if I want to run it on a server (so as to access lots of recording storage). Most servers run Windows Server and it's against licensing terms to install a Windows desktop OS as a VM without some very, very expensive licenses small/medium business have no other reason to own.
If the software simply worked on Windows Server, this would resolve the issue.
