Requirements
Operating Systems
Unless noted, all ProjectWise servers and clients are supported on these 64-bit server operating systems:
Unless noted, all ProjectWise client applications are supported on these 64-bit client operating systems:
Virtualization Software
ProjectWise is supported for use in virtual environments, however Bentley does not certify ProjectWise on any specific virtualization software. While ProjectWise testing is regularly performed using virtualization software, the individual ProjectWise applications are tested with a focus on the operating system, not the specific virtualization software running the operating system.
CONNECTION Client Requirements
All ProjectWise installers will automatically install the CONNECTION Client if it is not already installed.
The CONNECTION Client is required for product activation, usage reporting, and Subscription Entitlement Service (SES) licensing.
The CONNECTION Client requires unrestricted access to *.bentley.com and *.signalr.net for ports 80 and 443.
ProjectWise Integration Server Requirements
- 2 GHz x64 processor or better, dual-core or multiple-processor architecture is strongly recommended
- 8 GB of RAM or more recommended
- 500 MB of free hard disk space for installation, plus adequate space for file storage (depending on number and size of files) if this server will host a storage area
- Windows server operating system:
- Windows networking configured for the TCP/IP protocol (IPv4 or IPv6)
- Databases for the Integration Server (latest update or service pack is assumed):
- Database drivers for the Integration Server (English versions only):
- Automated File Processing feature requirements:
- Up to 500 simultaneous client connections (see note below)
- Requires a license
- In general, ProjectWise Integration Server can reliably handle up to 500 simultaneous client connections. This is not a hard limit, and performance may vary with this many connections, depending on the robustness of your hardware and system configuration. (In this case, a client connection is any user logged in to ProjectWise through one of the various ProjectWise client applications.)
- It is recommended that you use the specific database and driver versions listed. Incremental updates are likely to work as well, but are not recommended as they have not been tested with this release.
- Because ProjectWise Integration Server is a 64-bit application, you must create your ODBC datasource through the 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator ().
ProjectWise Administrator Requirements
ProjectWise Caching Server Requirements
- 1 GHz x64 processor or better
- 2 GB of RAM minimum, more recommended based on the number of client connections or if the Delta File Transfer (DFT) feature will be used
- 500 MB of free hard disk space for installation, plus additional space for file storage (depending on the number and size of files)
- Windows server operating system:
- Windows networking configured for the TCP/IP protocol (IPv4 or IPv6)
- Requires a license
Bentley i-model Composition Server for PDF Requirements
- 2 GHz x64 processor or better, dual-core or multiple-processor architecture is strongly recommended
- 16 GB of RAM minimum recommended, plus an additional 8 GB of RAM for each additional print engines configured
- 500 MB of free hard disk space for installation, plus additional space for the working directory
- Windows server operating system:
- Windows networking configured for the TCP/IP protocol (IPv4 or IPv6)
- Internet Information Server (IIS)
- ProjectWise Orchestration Framework Service (gets installed automatically)
- ProjectWise Explorer
- ProjectWise InterPlot Organizer CONNECT Edition
- Print engines for the types of files you want to create renditions from
- Requires a license
Bentley i-model Composition Server Administrator Requirements
Bentley i-model Composition Server Administrator is an option of both the Bentley i-model Composition Server for PDF and ProjectWise Administrator installers. These are the requirements for installing Bentley i-model Composition Server Administrator on its own computer (without Bentley i-model Composition Server for PDF).
- 1 GHz x64 processor or better
- 8 GB of RAM minimum recommended
- 75 MB of free hard disk space for installation
- 64-bit Windows server or client operating system:
- Windows networking configured for the TCP/IP protocol (IPv4 or IPv6)
- Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ)
- ProjectWise Explorer
- No license required
Internet Protocol Support (IPv4 or IPv6)
ProjectWise supports the use of either Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) or Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).
To run ProjectWise on IPv6:
- You must have a fully-configured IPv6 DNS server.
- All ProjectWise clients and servers must be part of the IPv6 network.
- All ProjectWise clients and servers must be configured to use IPv6, by enabling the new IPv6 settings on the ProjectWise Network Configuration Settings dialog.
- All ProjectWise servers must be configured to use IPv6, by enabling the IPv6 settings in the DMSKRNL.CFG file.
