System Requirements for Prior Versions
System Requirements For 2017 (Version 17.1)
Executive Summary
Starting with version 17.1 of Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate (released August 2017), 32-bit operating systems are no longer supported for servers or workstations.
Note for New Customers Each situation is unique and yours may vary. However for average daily processing loads, we recommend that servers have multi-core processors with base frequency of at least 3 GHz, 32 gigabytes or more RAM, and solid state drives (SSD’s). Workstations must have 64-bit installations of Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.
Note for Existing Customers If you are not planing to implement SQL Replicator or Mobile Projects, you probably don’t need to upgrade your server for this release, assuming it performs adequately today. Your server can continue to run on Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, or 2012 R2. Small or standalone systems can continue to use Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. If your workstations are 64-bit and you are satisfied with their performance, you probably don’t need to upgrade them. Any 32-bit workstations must be replaced with 64-bit systems.
If you do plan to implement SQL Replicator, verify that your server’s resources are sufficient to handle the additional components. You might need to upgrade your server. For average daily processing loads, we recommend that servers have multi-core processors with base frequency of at least 3 GHz, 32 gigabytes or more RAM, and solid state drives (SSD’s). The operating system can be Windows Server 2012 R2 or 2016. If your workstations are 64-bit and you are satisfied with their performance, you probably don’t need to upgrade them. Any 32-bit workstations must be replaced with 64-bit systems running Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.
