Starting from QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.1, .Net 8 is used (instead of .Net 6). If you are updating from an earlier release than QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.1, .Net 8 needs to be installed and .Net 6 uninstalled. Both .Net versions work side-by-side, so .Net 6 doesn't need to be uninstalled immediately, but due to security reasons, make sure that .Net 6 is eventually uninstalled.
