For optimal tion performance, do not drop HTTP to a lower quality of service (QOS), or at least ensure that HT TP traffic directed to the enterprise web server receives higher network priority.
For multi-site enterprise deployments, where a site will communicate with the enterprise frameworks at WAN speeds:
T1 (1.544 Mbits/s) is required. T3 (44Mbits/s) is optimal. When deploying fractional T1s for cost considerations, expect lower performance.
Virtuali Parallels Desktop or VMware® Fusion® is supported, but please be aware that Esko doesn't zation test all combinations of Mac® OS X and Parallels Desktop/VMware® Fusion®.
Only on an Intel® Mac®. Some limitations apply. Direct3D is the preferred 3D rendering mode.
Mac® Bootcamp has been tested to a certain point but is not officially supported for this ArtiosCAD release.
Hardw A situation exists by which HP machines configured with the UEFI firmware crash with a are blue screen when ArtiosCAD is installed. At the moment, this is known to happen on HP machines only and is a system crash. Until Esko can investigate the situation, the suggestion would be to build HP machines with the legacy BIOS.
Refer this articles Installation causes computer to crash with Blue Screen error for description and resolution.
Supported Databases
On 64-bit operating systems
ArtiosCAD Standard Edition installs Microsoft® SQL Server 2012 Express 64-bit Edition for new installations.
A localized SQL Server express 2012 must be installed on the same localized operating system.
For example: a German-language SQL Server 2012 must be installed on a German-language operating system. A German-language SQL Server 2012 cannot be installed on a French operating system.
There are some exceptions to this rule:
The English-language SQL Server 2012 can be installed on any localized OS. A localized SQL Server 2012 can be installed on an English OS, provided the MUI pack has been configured properly.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210665.aspx for more details.
On 32-bit operating systems
For new installations on a 32-bit operating system, you will need to download SQL Server Express 2012 32-bit edition from the Microsoft website and manually install and configure your database before ArtiosCAD can be installed.
The DBA must create an instance called Esko, set the sa password to the default password, create a case-insensitive database called ArtiosCADdb and an ODBC entry called ArtiosCAD pointing to the Esko instance. Before you start the installation of SQL Server 2012 on the database server, ensure that your operating system has been updated with the latest Windows service pack, and that it has all Windows Updates applied. During the installation process, SQL Server 2012 will connect to the Windows Update site and verify whether the operating system is up to date before it completes the installation. If the operating system is not up to date, this will result in a very long SQL Server 2012 installation time.
ArtiosCAD also supports:
Microsoft® SQL Server 2008, including 64-bit version Microsoft® SQL Server 2005, including 64-bit version Oracle® versions 9i or newer
Unsupported Databases
The following databases are not supported:
Microsoft® SQL Server 7, 2000 and MSDE Microsoft® Access Oracle® 7.3.2, 8, and 8i

ArtiosIO will now run on Windows 7 and newer OSs. ArtiosCAD 14.1.1 is expected to install in Windows Vista and Server 2008, however, these OSs should be considered EOL. Users will need to migrate to Windows 7 or 8 and Server 2008 R2 or newer with the latest OS service packs.
Typical ArtiosCAD installations can be Standalone (meaning no other systems are required for ArtiosCAD to work and no configurations are shared), Server (meaning it shares configuration, database and license files with other machines on the network) or Standard Client (meaning it gets its configuration and license information from an ArtiosCAD Server on the network and shares a common database residing on that server). Custom installation allows distribution of ArtiosCAD Server functions to two or three machines.
