System requirement details for administrators

APIS IQ-Software

In general, the APIS IQ-Software (local) has the following system requirements:

  • PC with an IA32 (x86) compatible processor
  • 500 MB free hard disk space
  • Microsoft Windows 10 or Windows 11
  • Minimum: 1024 MB free RAM and screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels
  • Recommended: 4 GB RAM, CPU 2 GHz or more, screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels or more

Server for the License Server software in combination with APIS IQ-Software

For the server, who should host the license server software, the following system requirements apply:

  • Hard disk with 300 MB free space.
  • Server machine with a 64-bit Windows operating system of at least Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
  • The server machine must be accessible from the clients via network connection.
  • A current Java runtime environment (JRE) or JDK.
  • Visual studio runtime components (VC++ 2022). If not already installed, these will be provided during installation.
  • MAC address of a suitable Windows server. If you do not wish to work with a MAC address, you can also obtain a FlexID dongle on request. (You will need a free USB port or card reader on the server computer for this.)

Depending on the required type of licensing, there are three options available:

Single user license (only local)

In addition to the system requirements mentioned above, either a card reader or a free USB port is required.

Network

The network version consists of two components:

  • The license server software on a Windows Server.

  • The APIS IQ-Software client on the local workstations. The system requirements listed under "APIS IQ-Software" mentioned above apply here.

A permanent network connection is required for smooth data exchange between client and file server.

Network version with NLX

The NLX extension of the network version enables you to "check out" your "seat" from the license server. This way you can work with your APIS IQ-Software even offline - while your seat is blocked on the server, until you check it in again.

(When working without checking out your seat, a stable network connection is still required.)

The above requirements for the network version are the same for the network version with NLX. The requirements listed under "APIS IQ-Software" apply to the NLX client (=APIS IQ-Software).

Further information on network installation is available in the installation manuals in the download section.

Server software products

For the APIS server products the following system requirements apply:

CARM-Server

The same requirements apply for the CARM-Server software as for the client version. For the operating system, it does not matter whether it is a Windows client or a Windows server. Permanent network connection is required for the server to be able to communicate with the clients.
