Understanding system requirements for TeamWork clients

For successful installation and acceptable performance on a client computer, the TeamWork client applications require the following minimum specifications:

• Intel Pentium IV 1.3 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM.
• One of the Windows desktop operating systems (with latest Service Pack) listed in the Supported Software document for this release of TeamWork. We recommend the 64-bit editions of Windows and TeamWork.
• Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 (64-bit computers only, optional for 32-bit. Can be installed from the distribution package).
• Up to 600 MB of free disk space for installation of the client software depending on the options chosen.
• TCP/IP networking protocol.
• Sufficient access rights for installation of TeamWork (that is, an Administrator of the computer).
• Any additional requirements for specific operating systems or TeamWork releases that are documented in the Release Notes.

Client computer specifications should be determined by the most demanding application that is installed on them. This is particularly true for heavy-duty 3D CAD applications such as Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, or SolidWorks. In such cases, you should always use a computer that meets at least the software manufacturer’s recommended specification, not the minimum.

To use TeamWork Web Access over the Internet or an intranet, a client computer must have a web browser capable of downloading, installing, and running ActiveX and JavaScript components. The supported web browsers are listed in the Supported Software document for this release of TeamWork.

Note    To enable the correct functioning of the ActiveX controls used by TeamWork Web Access, configure one of the following items on the Security tab of Internet Options in Control Panel for each Web Access user.

• For either the Internet or Local intranet zone (as applicable for your system), set all options under ActiveX controls and plug-ins to either Enable (preferred) or Prompt (and ensure the user always clicks Yes when prompted to use a control related to TeamWork).

OR

• Add the TeamWork Web Access site to the Trusted sites zone.
