The following are the minimum system requirements for Flexo Perfection 10.0. Exceeding these requirements will in most cases lead to a performance increase. Running Flexo Perfection on a system that does not meet these requirements is not supported.
Minimum requirements
| Minimum System Requirements for Flexo Perfection 10.0 | |
|---|---|
| Processor type and speed | x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) compatible dual-core processor (Intel or AMD), minimum dual-core. |
| RAM | Recommended 2 - 4GB RAM For more info about memory limitations in Windows operating systems, please consult this table. |
Available hard drive space
| An NTFS volume is required. The software takes about 20GB of disk space. Also take into account the need for storage of temporary and production data. A backup solution is strongly advised. Recommended 100GB disk space. |
| Graphics card and video drivers | Minimum 1280 x 1024 resolution, true color depth. |
| Network connection | 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet, TCP/IP v4 protocol, TCP/IP v6 protocol is not supported. |
| Virtualization | VMware ESX (version 3, 3.5, 4, 4.1 and 5) and Microsoft Hyper-V are supported. Note that hardware connections, including dongles, proofers, spectrophotometers and others may work, but are not supported. Customers should verify hardware support through their virtualization support channels. Known issue: When you run software (with a local license server) on a virtual machine, the Esko license server (a process called “esko.exe”) might take up 100% of one of the virtual processors. This problem has been escalated to the third-party who provides the licensing engine, but currently we can only offer 2 workarounds: - Reboot the virtual machine if this problem occurs. - Move your Esko license server to another (and preferably physical) machine. |
| File servers | All Esko applications running on Windows OS can use data that is available on network shares. These shares need to be on Windows or Unix/Linux (using SMB) file servers. We recommend to use Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 as file server. Mac OS X (version 10.5.x; 10.6.x, 10.7.x) data servers are also supported, but with limitations. These are standard limitations encountered when connecting to a Mac OS X server from Windows workstations or servers. They are related to losing resource forks of the MAC-application data when a Windows component moves or copies data. |
