  • Memory: Minimum 1GB RAM, recommended 4GB RAM 
  • Harddisk: An NTFS volume is required. The software takes about 1GB of disk space. Also take into account the need for storage of temporary and production data. A backup solution is strongly advised. 
  • Network: 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet, TCP/IP v4 protocol, TCP/IP v6 protocol is not supported. 
  • Video Card: DirectX9 compatible 3D graphics board from ATI or NVidia supporting fragment shaders and with at least 128MB video memory.  Examples are ATI Radeon 9600, 9700, 9800, Radeon X series, Radeon HD series and NVidia GeForce FX series, GeForce 6 series, GeForce 7 series, GeForce 8 series, GeForce 9 series.

Mac OS X (version 10.3.x; 10.4.x; 10.5.x; 10.6.x) data servers are also supported, but with limitations. These are standard limitations encountered when connecting to a Mac OS X server from Windows workstations or servers. They are related to losing resource forks of the MAC-application data when a Windows component moves or copies data. 
  • Compatibility: If you intend to run other applications as well on this hardware, make sure to check compatibility with the specifications of all other applications as well
