LegalSuite Hardware and System Software Requirements      -             03/06/09

 

NB.  The database server should be dedicated to the LegalSuite for Windows database. We also recommend HP

Servers as they give better performance and they run smoothly. Remember, these are minimum requirements, so

the more powerful the server, and more memory you have the better and faster LegalSuite will perform.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and 2008 Express databases are limited to 4GB in size. For larger databases,

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 Standard (or higher) is required (as this has no limit in the size of the database).

Small Business Server 2003 Premium includes Exchange Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005 Standard.

Small Business Server 2003 has a limit of 75 users.

Windows Server 2003 Standard has a 4GB RAM limit and a 4 CPU limit.

 

LegalSuite recommends that only Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or higher be used as 2000 does not support the advanced performance scripting.
