| From Octopus Server release `2024.1` there will be [limited support](https://octopus.com/docs/deprecations#dropping-capability-for-windows-server-2008-workers-and-targets-in-20251) for executing workloads on targets or workers running Windows Server 2008. As the version of [Calamari](https://octopus.com/docs/octopus-rest-api/calamari) shipped with later version of Octopus Server will no longer be compatable with Windows Server 2008, the capability has been made available to pin the version of Calamari used on the target itself. | ||

| 1. Download the [most recent version of Calamari](https://download.octopusdeploy.com/calamari/Calamari.Legacy.27.2.4-ci0003.zip) (currently `27.2.4-ci0003`). This is version of Calamari is unlikely to be updated unless there are significant vulnerbilities discovered so it may be missing new capabilities that are released later than `2025.1`. |

| Don't forget to allow access not just in Windows Firewall, but also any intermediary firewalls between the Tentacle and your Octopus Server. For example, if your Octopus Server is hosted in Amazon EC2, you'll also need to modify the AWS security group firewall to tell EC2 to allow the traffic. Similarly if your Octopus Server is hosted in Microsoft Azure you'll also need to add an Endpoint to tell Azure to allow the traffic. | ||

With pending deprecation of support for Windows Server 2008, we have committed to an interim measure to provide limited support using static versions of Calamari and environment variables.
This doc change outlines the details the customer needs to follow to make use of this workaround, and highlights the limited nature of this support.
