 System Requirements

ItemTracker can be installed and run on almost any computer that is running Microsoft Windows 2000 or later and has at least 180MB of free disk space. Even to run ItemTracker over a network only requires a very basic computer.

To get the best results, for network installations at least, we recommend using the best possible machine available. The following details some of the requirements.

The main requirement is that, if you are not using an existing installation of Microsoft SQL Server for the ItemTracker database, then the server must meet the requirements to install either Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) or Microsoft SQL Server, depending on what you want to use.

In addition to the installation size is the size of the database which is created the first time you run ItemTracker. There are two parts to the database - the ItemTracker.MDF (2 MB) and the ItemTracker_Log.LDF file (1 MB). Sufficient space is required to allow the database to grow.

The amount of RAM required is partly determined by the number of clients connecting to the server, with the minimum recommended amount being 64MB.

We recommend that, where possible, you use a server machine which is much more powerful than these minimum requirements.
