Manitou CS 2.X.X System Requirements
Please have the following components in place before upgrading:
Database Drive Space Allocation
- You will need to have enough disk space to double the current size of your existing Manitou Database. For example, if your current Manitou Database is 20 GB you will want to have at least 20 GB of free space on that drive.
- Installation of a Verified SSL Certificate for BoldNet
- If you plan to use BoldNet, you will need to have an SSL Certificate installed. This certificate must be verified by a trusted root authority.
- Latest Microsoft Windows Updates
- Latest Microsoft .NET 4.XX
- Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 or higher
- You need to be running Windows Server 2012 R2 or higher on all machines hosting Manitou applications, components and/or services. We recommend, however, that you run Microsoft Windows Server 2019 or higher.
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional or higher
- If you are running any Manitou services on a Workstation (e.g., publishing that requires a faxing service), you will need to run Windows 10 Professional or higher. If you are not running any Manitou services on your Workstation, we still recommend running Microsoft Windows 10 Professional or higher.
