RecPro Hardware Requirements
ReCPro™ is a Client/Server Application. It is a requirement for your department to supply a Windows Server and Windows Workstations that meet the requirements below.
ReCPro™ SQL Server Database MUST be installed on a Windows Server on your LAN. The selected server CANNOT be running Microsoft Exchange Server as SQL Server and Exchange Server cannot be installed on the same server. ReCPro™ comes bundled with a SQL Server (Express Ed.) Database so it is NOT a requirement for your department to purchase SQL Server (Standard or Enterprise Ed.) unless you plan to purchase more than 25 User Licenses.
Required Software:
- Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 and 4.6.2
- Microsoft SQL Server 2022, 2019, 2017, 2016, or 2014 (ReCPro™ comes bundled with the Express Ed.)
- Windows Based Operating System (both Client and Server)
Supported SQL Server Versions: (IMPORTANT: We no longer support SQL Server 2005, 2008, or 2012)
- SQL Server 2019, 2017, 2016, or 2014 (Express, Standard or Enterprise)
- A SQL Standard license is recommended but not required.
Supported Client Operating Systems: (IMPORTANT: We no longer support Windows XP or Vista)
- Windows 11
- Windows 10 32bit/64bit
- Windows 8 32bit/64bit
- Windows 7 32bit/64bit
Supported Server Operating Systems: (IMPORTANT: We no longer support Windows Server 2003, 2008, or 2012)
- Windows Server 2022
- Windows Server 2019
- Windows Server 2016
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2012
Supported Windows Virtualization Solutions:
- VMWare Player
- Hyper-V
- VirtualBox
- Virtual PC
Space Requirements:
- SQL Server (Express Ed.) can generally be used in many situations. SQL Server 2019, 2017, 2016, 2014, & 2012 (Express Ed.) have a 10 gigabyte size limit. If at any time, your data requirements start to get close to this limit, you can easily upgrade to the Standard or Enterprise Edition of SQL Server without any data loss.
- The client application is relatively small and only takes up a few hundred megabytes of space. Aside from the .NET framework requirements, disk space on the client desktop is minimal.
Using ReCPro™ Online Registration requires you to either host the Registration Website on an internal server (preferably on the same server ReCPro™ is installed) or host with one of our recommended 3rd Party web host partners (currently DiscountASP or InfoQuest).
Database Server Requirements:
- Minimum 8 GB RAM
- SQL Express: One socket four core CPU running @ 2 Ghz or higher. This is the max allowed for SQL Express.
- SQL Standard: Minimum one socket four core CPU @ 2 Ghz
- Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 and 4.6.2
- Microsoft SQL Server 2019, 2017, 2016, 2014, or 2012 (ReCPro™ comes bundled with the Express Ed.)
- The RecPro database should be installed on its own SQL instance if running SQL Express due to memory limitations.
Web Server Requirements (If purchasing a web module and choosing to be self-hosted)
- Same requirements as the database server above
- Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) – (Supported Versions: 10.0, 8.5, 8.0, 7.5, 7.0) (If purchasing web module)
- Minimum Bandwidth – 768 Up and Down
- SSL Certificate (256-bit)
Port Requirements:
- Hosting on your Internal Server will require you to open port 443 (SSL). The website will not function properly without this. Opening port 80 is optional for HTTP domain URL.
- Hosting at Third Party will require you to open a SECURE port on your network so the website can communicate with and pass data to the internal Microsoft SQL Server Database using Web Services – EXAMPLE : Port 443 (SSL)
Supported Website Browsers: (for Online Registration Website)
- Microsoft Edge
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Safari
