Installation Requirements

Both the JobServer.NET Service and the JobServer.NET Manager are built using Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 and inherit a portion of the minimum system requirements based on this. Either or both can be installed on any 64-bit version of Windows 7 or later, and Windows Server 2008 R2 or later. This includes:

Note: versions of Windows Server 2008 and earlier (Windows 2003, Windows 2000, etc.), are not supported due to Microsoft no longer supporting installation of versions of the .NET framework after 4.5 for these older operating systems.

Minimum available disk space requirements: 500 MB (Recommended: 1GB)

While the basic installation of the service and manager applications do not have a heavy storage requirement, the amount of actual disk space required once you start adding jobs can vary significantly based on your configuration settings. Additionally, if your machine does not have the minimum required version of Microsoft .NET Framework installed; this does not account for space that might be needed to update your installed version of the .NET Framework.

Minimum available memory requirements: 256 MB (Recommend: 1GB)

While the basic installation of the service and manager applications do not have a heavy memory requirement, the use of the various plug-ins and how you may configure them will have the potential to require more available memory to function or to extract best system performance. Running jobs will require additional memory only while they are running and automatically free up resources when complete.

For machines where only the manager application will be installed, both the disk space and memory requirements are significantly reduced.
