Network Installation
Main (server) computer
The main computer is the computer that has the RezOvation GT database and primary application (RezOvation service).
- Pentium 4 - 2.4 Ghz processor (dual core processor or better recommended)
- 1 GB memory (2 GB or more recommended; more memory will improve performance)
- 20 GB hard drive (a fast hard disk such as a 10,000 RPM disk, SSD drive, or a RAID array will also help improve performance if available)
Secondary (client) computer
The secondary computer is any computer on the network that needs access to RezOvation GT, but which does not run the database. This computer typically does not need as much CPU power or memory as the main computer.
- Pentium 4 - 2.0 Ghz or better (faster CPU will improve performance).
- 512 MB memory (more memory will improve performance)
- 10 GB hard drive

Microsoft Office applications
- Microsoft Word 2000 or newer. This is required to view or print letters and reports and to preview emails before sending.
- Microsoft Excel 2000 or newer. This is required to print the occupancy map.
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Edition
- If not present, SQL Server 2008 Express is installed automatically along with RezOvation GT.
- This is NOT required for client computers in a network configuration of RezOvation GT.
- If necessary, you can manually install SQL Server 2008 Express Edition. However, it is recommended that you allow RezOvation GT to install SQL Express.
Microsoft .NET 2.0 / 3.5 Framework
- If not present, .NET 3.5 is automatically installed along with RezOvation GT.
- .NET 2.0 or 3.5 is required for all computers in a network configuration.
- It is recommended that you allow RezOvation GT to automatically install the correct version of .NET. Alternatively, you can install .NET from one of these locations:
- via Windows Update (select the section for optional software updates)
- From the Microsoft website
Other software
- Windows Installer 4.5. This is installed automatically with RezOvation GT. Alternatively, you can install it manually.
Optional Items
- High-speed Internet with a connection speed of 256k upload / 256k download (required for online availability and auto updates; dial-up is not supported)
- Credit card swiper (for credit card processing users)
General Notes
- Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP1 are no longer supported with new installs as of April 2009. This is due to the fact that the installer now uses SQL Express 2008, which does not support these operating systems.
- All available Windows Updates should be installed before RezOvation GT is installed.
- The .NET 2.0 or 3.5 Framework is required for all computers in a network installationm including secondary (client) computers. SQL Express is required only for the server.
- Email preview feature is currently not available with Windows Vista x64 installs, due to lack of compatibility with the Microsoft embedded Office control.
- Installation alongside SQL Server 2000 is not supported. Issues with database connections cannot be properly researched in this configuration.
- Installation with SQL Server 2005 / SQL Server 2008 is supported and will work properly. SQL Express 2005 / 2008 is identical to SQL Server 2005 / 2008 with some functional limitations, e.g. 4 GB database limit, 1 GB memory use, 1 CPU.
