Salesware system specifications
The following sections present recommended Salesware system specifications. Refer to the diagrams in the first section of this document for information regarding configurations. Networking is required; this can be via an Ethernet or a wireless connection. Siriusware’s policy is not to support operating systems not supported by Microsoft. These are the reasons why we don’t:
• Microsoft is no longer providing security updates, so it is risky for anyone to use a non-supported operating system.
• Clients are not in compliance with PCI if they use non-supported operating systems.
• It may be impossible for us to resolve issues with an operating system we cannot get support on.
• Third party products our software uses may not work.
Currently, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT and Windows XP are not supported.
Note: E-Commerce module is not supported on non-server operating systems. E-Commerce module must be deployed on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012.
The requirements for management stations running SysManager or ReportManager are the same as those for standard salespoints, except less disk space is required.
Note: Failover clustering using Microsoft clustering software is in use by several Siriusware clients. Clustering is transparent to the applications and users of the database.
