Additional Module Requirements

Depending on the Signature modules being implemented, the following table lists the required servers and the applications that may be installed on each server in a typical environment.

Item	Requirements
Microsoft SQL Server	2022, 2019 (Enterprise, Standard, or Express), 2017 (Enterprise, Standard, or Express), 2016 (Enterprise or Standard) SQL Reporting Services (Optional) IIS 7.0 or greater (Optional) Instances: Signature/Dynamics CRM SQL Reporting Services
Web Server (IIS) – Internal	Signature SMS Customer Portal Signature Registration Signature MobileTech Web Service
Microsoft Windows Server	Internet Information Services (IIS) .NET Framework 3.5 or higher A separate machine is recommended.
Application Servers	Microsoft Dynamics GP Signature Service Management Signature Job Cost Signature Equipment Management Signature Job Import Microsoft Office May be multiple servers using Terminal Server and/or Citrix or multiple client desktops.

NOTES:

It is recommended to have a duplicate test system that mirrors the production system. This is not a requirement but not having a duplicated system may lead to issues in production that are not encountered in the test environment.
Leave at least 25 percent free space for each hard drive or volume on each server.
For SQL Server, leave 50 percent free space for each hard drive.
SQL Server should not be installed on the Remote Desktop Services/Citrix servers.
WennSoft has customers who are successfully operating their production Microsoft Dynamics GP/Signature systems in a virtual environment.
When you deploy a system in a virtual environment, make sure that you have sufficient hard disk space to avoid performance problems.
Each computer that you deploy in a virtual environment should meet or exceed the random access memory (RAM) requirements and the hard disk space requirements. Use the requirements for systems that are deployed in a non-virtual environment.
In addition to Microsoft, other software vendors have software in the market that provides virtual environment functionality. WennSoft does not test or support Signature software running together with non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software.
You may need to enable port 1433 for TCP/IP in the Windows Firewall to ensure that the incoming ODBC requests are accepted.
