I am running a Restful API that runs on a server and noticed the below values in the config file.
I am going off of the following article to answer my question (somewhat): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/lifecycle/faq/dotnet-framework
; however, I do not fully understand the below XML and it seems that I should be using version 4.5.2....so....

Question: does both the sku and the supportedRuntime need to be version 4.5.2; i.e., are both recommended to be 4.5.2?

<startup><supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5"/></startup>

.NET Runtime
.NET Runtime
.NET: Microsoft Technologies based on the .NET software framework.Runtime: An environment required to run apps that aren't compiled to machine language.

    Hi,JGodsave

    Like the document said, you should install the .net framework 4.5.2 or higher to get the support lifecycle of microsoft.

    And the sku has the specific value with different .net framework version, the v4.0 matches the .net framework 4.0~4.8, so if you use framework

    4.5.2, the sku version should be 4.0.

    Best Regards,
