  • Microsoft .Net framework 4.0 (full framework) and Microsoft .Net framework 3.5 are required for Exact Globe Next.
  • Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime 2008 (x86) Redistributable Service Pack 1 is required (this feature is automatically installed if not present in the target server and target client). 
  • Windows XP service pack 3 update is needed for Windows XP workstation.
  • Regularly backup the administrations/databases and store the backup on a different media device (not the machine where the Microsoft SQL Server is installed);
  • Perform regular database maintenance;
  • To update the software via the internet an internet connection is needed;
  • Use scalable hardware;
  • For support of Exact Globe Next in a WAN environment see document 10.287.204;

  • Exact Globe Next has been tested in a VMware environment. This test was conducted with VMware Server version 1.0.4 in combination with Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Office 2003. This combination is supported as of release 382. For all other combinations, please see document 16.037.327;
  • The system requirements are based on the usage of Exact Globe Next only, if other applications are used on the same machines the requirements should be increased;
  • System requirements for Terminal Servers are based on dedicated Terminal Servers, which means no other applications are running. In case other applications are running as well, the hardware specifications should be increased accordingly;
  • In case multiple active directories are used and a trust needs to be established between those active directories, Windows Small Business Servers are not supported. A trust needs to be established if data needs to be send across active directories;
  • Every new service pack is supported automatically by Exact, unless explicitly announced otherwise;
  • In a network environment a Microsoft Active Directory (domain) needs to be present. The workstations, the SQL Server and the Windows Terminal Server need to be part of the same active directory;  
  • Microsoft Office 2003 Standard Edition does not support CRM wordmerge functionality due to limited functionality of this Standard Edition;
  • The system requirements of Exact Event Manager can be found in document 20.854.166.
