Please review this document thoroughly before proceeding with the installation of infoRouter Version 8.

Virtual server environments are supported as long as the virtual environment is compatible with above requirements.
It is highly recommended that a dedicated server environment be provided for infoRouter. Conflicts may occur with applications that require different .NET Framework versions.

One of the following DBMS platforms is required.
DBMS should be set to case-insensitive mode. Case-sensitive databases are NOT supported.

If the database platform is on the same Windows Server instance as the application, the memory requirements are higher. Please consider adding more memory to the server.
