When using Windows 2008 Server, Windows 2012 Server, Windows 7, or Windows 8/8.1, you must use the Administrator user account for setup. To do so, run the installation program as an administrator (pop-up menu item Run as administrator). Other user accounts do not work, even if they were assigned administrator privileges.
Installations on integrated network drives and on substituted drives are not supported.
In an installation of a distributed PPM environment (master-sub-server scenario), sub-server and master server can run on different database instances. For this to work, all instances must use the same database version.
The Windows operating system offers only 5000 ports for TCP/RMI connections. This number may not be sufficient for error-free communication if the system is too busy (distributed systems, using Performance Dashboard). To change the parameter, the Windows registry must be adapted. Add the following entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters, "MaxUserPort"=dword:00002000. This example increases the number of available ports to 8192.
