Make sure the machine on which you are going to run the installer has at least 1GB of available virtual memory, and at least 200MB of free disk space in its system temp (Windows) or temporary (UNIX) directory.

If you are going to create an installation image, make sure the machine on which you are going to run the installer has at least twice the size of the installation image in free disk space in the file system that will contain the image file. For example, if you are going to create the 1GB image MyImage.zip in C:\MyDirectory, file system C:\ must have at least 2GB free disk space available. This is because the installer downloads the products to a directory with the same name as the image (for example, C:\MyDirectory\MyImage) before adding the products to the image, so if you lose your connection to Empower, you can resume where you left off. To predict the image size, see the numbers for Free Space Required (for the image) and Free Space Available (in the file system) in the product selection tree after you select the products to include in the image.

Make sure the machine on which you are going to run the installer has enough free disk space in its system temp (Windows) or temporary (UNIX) directory. If you are going to install from an installation image, you need 200MB of free disk space in that directory. If you are going to install from an installation image, you need 200MB plus the size of the image of free disk space in that directory. For example, if the image is 200MB, the directory must have at least 400MB of available disk space.

If you are going to install on a Windows system, make sure the machine on which you are going to run the installer has the latest Windows updates. On Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, installation will fail if the Microsoft update KB2919355 from April 2014 is not present.

On a Windows system, you can only install Software AG products on a local hard drive. You cannot install the products on a network-mounted drive.

If you are going to install or uninstall on a UNIX system, and you are going to do so using the GUI, your local machine must be equipped with an X11 display server.
