• Xactimate 24 Network
  
  Like all networked software applications, Xactimate 24 must be installed on a workstation connected to a network which has been properly set up and attached (i.e., mapped) to a shared drive. SQL Server or MSDE must be installed on your server. An install of MSDE is available on your Xactimate 24 CD and will allow up to ten users to access your network without a drop in network performance. For networks with more than ten users we recommend that a full version of SQL Server be installed on your sever machine. To install Xactimate 24 you will need to know the name of your server machine, as well as the user name and password for an administrator user on your database (MSDE or SQL Server). We highly recommend that you have a certified network technician set up and administer your network for you.
  
  Xactimate 24 supports SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000. Xactimate 24 will support SQL Server 2005 with its May 2006 Service Pack.
  
  Xactimate 24 supports a peer-to-peer network configuration and installation.
  
  Before installing Xactimate 24 on your network, it is critical that both your server and each of your workstation computers meet all of the minimum system requirements for Xactimate 24.
  
  For Servers:
  
  Server - Your server must be at least a Pentium III-866 with at least 1 Gig of RAM (2 Gig or more is recommended) and at least 2 Gig of available hard drive space.
  Network Hardware - Your network hardware must be at least 100Base-T with Category 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable throughout all network connections.
  Internet Access - At least one of the computers on your network must have access to the Internet.
  
  For Workstations:
  
  Operating System - Operating systems on which Xactimate 24 is supported include Windows 2000 and Windows XP (not including Media Center Edition) Service Pack 2.
  Processor Speed - Xactimate 24 requires at least a 1 GHz processor (1.5 GHz or better is recommended).
  RAM - Xactimate 24 requires that your machine have a least 256 MB of RAM (512 MB or better is recommended).
  Hard Drive Space - Xactimate 24 requires that your computer have at least 1.5 Gig of free hard drive space available.
  Monitor Resolution - Xactimate 24 requires that your monitor resolution be set to 1024x768 or higher.
  
  Important! Required network software for non peer-to-peer networks includes Novell 5.0® (5.1 recommended) or Windows 2000 or 2003 Advanced Server. It is crucial that you use only one type of client driver (i.e., never mix client drivers). Choose either Novell Client 32 (version 3.3 or higher) or Microsoft's built-in clients. Never use Microsoft's Novell clients because Novell networks require Novell client software. Use the same driver on every workstation.
• Xactimate 24 is not supported on Windows Vista. Vista does not officially support Microsoft MSDE which is used extensively by Xactimate 24. Xactimate 25, currently in development, will be supported on Windows Vista.
• Xactimate 24 can be used on any Tablet PC that supports these system requirements.
