System Requirements

Requirements for The Project System® (Project) Are Very Easy!

• A standard Windows file server will is fine.
• Windows 2008 R2, 2012 and 2016, 8G Memory, OS Minimum Level: Standard. If you are doing Remote Desktop, start at 12G and add 500K per user.
• All Project requires is a shared folder mapped to a drive like “P:\DoveNet”
• Workstations can be Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7/8/10 (32/64 Bit). Min Mem. 4M
• TPS Mobile Server Software Requires Windows Server with IIS: 2008 R2, 2012 and 2016. Depending on what you are running on the server will determine whether TPS Mobile Server can run in the background. The less you are running on the server the better.

If you want to have remote access, you will want to run Project on your server as an application and activate Terminal Services® or Citrix Metaframe®. You will need to increase the memory on your server if/when you are running Terminal Services. If there are many remote users then you should plan for a separate Terminal Server. (20 Users per Terminal Server box). If it is just a few remote users then you can run Project as an application on the main server and host the data for the other office users.

Other remote access capability would be to use products like www.gotomypc.com® or www.logmein.com®, etc. where you connect remotely to a local pc where you are running Project.

Antivirus Software: We recommend Trend Micro products. Other antivirus products are fine as long as you can tell then to exclude monitoring any files in the folder P:\DoveNet.

We have found McAfee® and Norton® to be problematic in not properly excluding looking at the P:\DoveNet data. (This slows down performance of Project.)
