MetaRecords 8 requirements
Check these lists of hardware and software against your current system to see what you need to add MR8 to your business.
Set up as many workstations as you need
Workstations can be desktop PCs or laptops. You connect to your server remotely. (If you have a legacy MR8 Subscribe subscription, you can also connect your workstations directly to your server.)
You can have an unlimited number of workstations connected to your server; however the maximum number of workstations that can access your MR Server at the same time is determined by how many user licenses you have.
| Components | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Processor (CPU) | 2 GHz or faster |
| Memory (RAM)1 | 2 GB |
| Hard Disk Space | 500 MB |
| Monitor | VGA with 1024 x 768 resolution or higher2 |
| Operating System | Windows Vista or higher3 |
| Internet Access | Required |
| Other Software | Adobe Reader/Acrobat 7 or higher, .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or higher |
- Minimum RAM requirements are for MR8 only. If you run other applications at the same time as MR8, you will encounter memory problems unless you have enough RAM to allot to all open applications.
- You cannot utilize our software without meeting the minimum resolution requirement listed here.
- MR8 Subscribe and MR8 Cloud can also run on Windows XP, although we do not recommend it due to its vulnerability to security risks and viruses.
User Licenses
You need one user license for each user who accesses your MR Server (where your MR8 database resides) at the same time. For example, if you have two people processing orders, a Billing person, a Production person and yourself all using MR at the same time, you need five user licenses.
You do not need extra user licenses for duplicate installations. If you want to install MR on both your desktop computer and your laptop because you want to be able to also work remotely, you only need one user license to cover both computers because only one of them will access your MR Server at a time.
You do not need user licenses for anyone using MR Web, such as attorneys and reporters, to access their info in your MR8 database. If however you have reporters or employees working remotely with your MR8 database, i.e., they log into your MR8 directly, not through MR Web, you need to include them in your user licenses.
You can add or cancel user licenses at any time when you subscribe to MR8.
Non-MR installations & maintenance
Please note: MR8 is a software solution only. You are responsible for installing and maintaining any hardware and third-party software required to operate MR8.
Maintenance that is your responsibility includes:
- Resolving network issues.
- Setting printer.
- Installing IIS.
- Making your logo image for branding your MR documents, website, etc.
- Keeping all required software and hardware to current specs set by OMTI Support.
Legacy MR Subscribe clients: You are also responsible for configuring your firewall, including opening ports as required by OMTI Support for your MR system to operate. We are not able to open ports in clients’ systems. Port requirements must be done by client.
