System Requirements

Operating Systems

You must be running a 64-bit operating system. The following are supported:

  • Microsoft Windows® 10.
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016 or 2019. (Requires a license that specifically allows server installations/deployments.)

Note: Upgrading your operating system after your ReliaSoft software has already been installed can cause issues with the activation. To prevent this, it is recommended to uninstall ReliaSoft 2022 prior to upgrading your operating system and then reinstall it after the upgrade. For other options, and for information about how to handle the "activated license is corrupt" message that may appear if you upgrade your operating system with live activations, please refer to https://www.reliasoft.com/windows10-reactivation.

Minimum Hardware Requirements

  • RAM: 4 GB (8 GB or more recommended)
  • Hard disk space: 1 GB (minimum) free space available
  • Screen resolution: 1024 x 768 or higher

Additional Software Requirements

  • .NET Framework 4.8
  • Microsoft Office (Excel®, Word and Outlook®) 2013, 2016, 2019 or Office 365 (plans with installed software – i.e., not web-based) for automated exports, report generation and e-mail/calendar integration.
    • If you plan to use the optional ReliaSoft Application Programming Interface (API) with VBA, you must have 64-bit Office installed.

Enterprise Database Platforms

32- and 64-bit versions are supported.

  • SQL Server® 2012 (SP4), 2014 (SP3), 2016 (SP2), 2017, 2019 or Azure
  • SQL Server Express Edition 2012 - 2017
  • Oracle® 12c, 18c or 19c (with limitations for multi-tenancy and/or pluggable databases)

Although the enterprise database platform (Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle) could be installed on the same computer where the ReliaSoft applications reside, most organizations will choose to set up a separate server to host the database. The ReliaSoft applications will work with either the 32-bit or 64-bit versions of a back-end database/server. The minimum hardware/software requirements for each server hosting the database should be obtained directly from the selected database vendor (i.e., Microsoft or Oracle). In general, we recommend a minimum CPU speed of 2 GHz and 4 GB of RAM.
