If you are going to run the installer on a Windows system, you must have Windows system administrator privileges. On a Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, or later system, if you want to use the jar file rather than the exe to start the installer, you must execute the jar file from within a command shell that has system administrator privileges.

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

If you are going to install on a UNIX system, and you are going to install using the GUI, an installation image, or an installation script that uses the GUI, your local machine must be equipped with an X11 display server.

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.

Only install products from a single release in an installation directory. Do not mix products from different releases in the same installation directory. Doing so is not supported, and you will experience problems or be unable to access functionality.

To avoid problems with shared system resources, run only one installer at a time on the machine. Make sure the entire product installation is complete, including post-installer tasks described in your product installation guide, before starting any other installer on the machine.
