What are the PlanetPress Suite System requirements?
Supported Operating Systems:
Minimum Hardware Requirements
The same as those required by the Operating System under which PlanetPress Suite is running. That means something similar to the following:
Recommended Hardware Requirements
The same as those recommended by the Operating System under which PlanetPress Suite is running. That means something similar to the following:
Supported Operating Systems:
Due to complex technical reasons, Windows 8.0 and Windows Server 2012 / 2012 R1 are not supported. You must upgrade to Windows 8.1 or 2012 R2.
Minimum Hardware Requirements
Recommended Hardware Requirements
These requirements shouldn't be taken at face value on all occasions. In many cases, the Minimum Requirements are more than enough, while in others, the Recommended Requirements will barely be able to keep up with a demanding implementation.
Important note on virtual environments:
Starting with version 7.5.1, PlanetPress Suite is able to detect a number of virtual environments in addition to the ones listed above. To check whether your own virtual environment is properly detected, just launch PlanetPress Design and look at the main window's caption bar. If it states PlanetPress Design for your_virtual_environment, it means the virtual environment was successfully detected, which in turn means that PlanetPress Suite should not run into de-activation issues caused by rebooting the server or moving the virtual image to another server. Note, however, that successful detection of a virtual environment not listed above does not mean it is officially supported. It simply means that if the virtualization server does a good job of virtualizing (!), then there's no reason the application should not behave the same as when running on a physical server, but that Objectif Lune has not yet been able to certify the application runs properly under that specific environment.
In addition to the list above, the following environments should be detected properly (but are not yet officially supported): Virtual-PC, VirtualBox, Parallels, KVM, Xen, Bochs-based and Wine.
