|WSUS will work in an IPv6 only network, however Microsoft's Windows Update servers are only available over IPv4 so either an [[IPv6 transition mechanism|IPv6 transition mechanism]] will be needed, or a [[proxy server]].

|Sage 200 mostly works in an IPv6 environment as it is based on Microsoft [[Internet Information Services|IIS]]. Activation will not work over IPv6 or using a proxy server so the Sage application server needs to have an IPv4 address to activate. The Sage 200 task launch will also fail to run if the IPv6 stack is uninstalled.
|The Skype for Business client supports IPv6 only networks where the IPv4 stack is not bound to a network adapter, however it will crash if the IPv4 stack is uninstalled.
