----
 
----
*Minimum CPU required: 2 GHz+ minimum (Get a good mid-range size and use that)
+
*Minimum CPU required: 800 MHz minimum
*Minimum memory required: 8GB - 16GB recommended or 1 Gig per gig of DB size
+
*Minimum memory required: 256 MB for Win NT/2000 (No longer supported by Microsoft), 512MB for XP or Vista. 1GB recommended.
*Minimum free hard disk space required: 300 MB, 1 GB recommended, or sized to your current DB size
+
*Minimum free hard disk space required: 100 MB, 1 GB recommended.
*Operating system version: Windows 10 – 11

===SME minimum system requirements for Server===
 
----
 
*Minimum CPU required: 2 or more GHz recommended.
 
 
 
*Memory/RAM: Ram requirement is a factor of the database size. Plan on 1 gig per gig of database size plus 4-gig
 
minimum for operating system use. If hosting other applications on the SQL server you will need to reserve memory for
 
the applications in addition to the reserve for SQL
 
 
 
*Go to this article for details for improving SQL Performance
 
 
 
*MS SQL should not be installed on a domain controller due to security considerations and domain controller default
 
SQL databases (Note: As of SQL 2017 Microsoft will no longer allow the installation of SQL on a domain controller).
 
 
 
*MS SQL version should be matched to server operating system 2012 – SQL 2012 R2 SQL 2014 - SQL 2014 R2,
 
Server 2016 – SQL 2017, etc. (Note: 2008 – SQL 2008 R2,SQL 2012, SQL 2014 are no longer supported by Microsoft
 
and you should update your systems ASAP).
 
 
 
*Server should have a separate drive for SQL Temp database usage, solid state drives are best, as this database is
 
written to often in high volume operations (SQL Performance)
 
 
 
*Minimum free hard disk space required: 4 GB minimum, 10 GB preferred, use solid state drives for faster performance.
 
 
 
*Servers should be using a Raid 10 configuration with a separate drive for log files and temp database usage
 
 
 
*A separate partition can suffice if another drive is not available
 
 
 
*Minimum screen resolution: 1024 x 768 – SME is optimized for 1280 x 1200
 
 
 
*Network: 10Mbps min, 100Mbps or 1Gbps recommended, faster is better.
 
 
 
*Operating System: Windows 10, or Windows Server 2016, SQL 2016-Server 2022. (Note: any MS operating system
 
prior to Windows 10 is no longer supported by Microsoft and its use should be discontinued immediately).
 
 
 
*MS Does not recommend installing MS SQL Server on a domain controller or SBS operating system. We also do not
 
recommend installing on a server running MS Exchange Server. (Note: As of SQL 2017 this is no longer allowed in any
 
manner by the SQL installer).
 
 
 
*Database: MS SQL 2017 - 2022 any edition. (Note: SQL 2008, 2012 are no longer supported).
 
  
*Note: The Express Edition is free and has no user limit, but does have the following limits:
 
Database limit of 10GB for 2012 + Limits processor cores to 1 Memory usage to 4 gig (SQL 2017+ now combine some
 
previously separated memory processes and may require significantly more memory than the posted limits). This is
 
sufficient size for most companies unless you plan utilizing stored documents. High5 suggests using a separate SQL
 
instance for SME. We can share a SQL instance however certain maintenance tasks may take the other databases off-line
 
while performing the maintenance
 
  
*Express version are limited in memory usage, Database size, processor cores, and in basic optimization functions

*High5 Service Management Enterprise, (SME), is compatible with all yearly upgrades to Pro, Premier, and Enterprise versions of QuickBooks. The SQLink program will function without issue as long as the following steps are taken. [[Quickbook Instructions]]
+
*Minimum CPU required: 1.5 GHz, 2 or more GHz recommended.
*Quickbooks system requirements: 8GB RAM for 1-5 users, 12GB RAM for 10 users
+
*Memory/RAM: 4GB (Note: SQL 2008 and higher support ram usage beyond the 4 gig limit of SQL 2005)
 +
*Minimum free hard disk space required: 4 GB minimum, 10 GB preferred
 +
*Minimum screen resolution: 1024 x 768
 +
*Network: 10Mbps min, 100Mbps or 1Gbps recommended.
 +
*Operating System: Vista/Win 7 or Windows Server 2003/2008/SBS R2/2011: MS Does not recommend installing MS SQL Server on a domain controller. We also do not recommend installing on a server running MS Exchange Server: (We no longer support the use of Windows 2000 Server as Microsoft discontinued their support for this system)
 +
*Note: SME does NOT work with SBS non-R2 edition because non-R2 uses SQL 2000. Check with your IT group about upgrading to R2 version
 +
*Windows Server 2012 is in preliminary testing with SME and looks very good, however we have not officially completed testing.  Sept 2012.
 +
*Database: MS SQL Server 2005, 2008, 2012 any edition.
 +
*Note that the Express Edition is free and has no user limit, but does have a limit of 4GB database size for 2005 and 10GB limit for 2008 and 2012. This is sufficient size for most companies unless you plan lots of stored documents. If you already have MS SQL Server installed for other applications it should work for SME.
