2 Overview The following document outlines the System Requirements needed to install and operate the Munis Version 11.1 software. There have been many technology changes that may impact your ability to run the latest Munis Version 11.1 software suite, so please review this document carefully. In general, Tyler Technologies will support Munis running on versions of Operating Systems and Databases that are supported by their manufacturer. If a specific OS or Database version has been discontinued, installation services and support on the particular platform will be limited. Page 2 of 13

3 for Munis The following Operating Systems are supported for the Munis Version 11.1 Release. If there are any questions regarding your current OS version, please call OSDBA Support at as they will be able to offer contracted customers a pro-active check of your system. Tyler Technologies recommends 64-bit Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Non- Windows 2008 (all versions) Windows 2003 (all versions) *NOTE: For all new server installations of Munis 11.1, Tyler is requiring the use of SSL Certificates for all Munis application servers. A SSL certificate ensures network traffic is encrypted and secured. Not implementing a SSL certificate may allow passwords and other sensitive information to be transmitted in clear text across the network. There are a variety of options and vendors available for SSL certificate. If you need further assistance, please contact our installation coordinator (installation.coordinator@tylertech.com) to discuss which option is most suitable for your organization. For existing installations, we would strongly encourage adopting SSL certificates to encrypt communication. Supported Databases for Munis The following Databases are supported for the Munis Version 11.1 Release. If there are any questions regarding your current database version, please call OSDBA Support at as they will be able to offer contracted customers a pro-active check of your system. Tyler Technologies recommends 64-bit Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Microsoft SQL Server Versions Non-Supported Databases Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (all editions) Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (all editions) NOTE: SQL Enterprise required for Transparent Database Encryption (TDE), SQL Always On, Business Intelligence Power View (among other features) Page 3 of 13

4 Technical Notes for the Munis Application Database Configuration Requirements The following database settings must be configured and enabled to run the Munis Version 11.1 product: Microsoft SQL Server must have row level versioning turned on for all Munis databases Hard Drive Space Requirements Munis Version 11.1 requires at least 5+ GB of free space for the Munis Application and at least one times the size of the live database for transaction log and database growth requirements. Please contact our Support department if your server does not meet these space requirements. Active Directory Requirements Munis Version 11.1 requires user account names in Munis to match exactly with the corresponding Active Directory user account (including case). Many new web modules introduced in the last few Munis releases utilize IIS Integrated Authentication at the webserver level which requires an exact match for the end-user login. Virtualization Tyler Technologies supports both the VMWare Infrastructure virtualization product and Microsoft Hyper-V for virtualizing Windows servers. It is a requirement that a high performance Storage Area Network (SAN) or RAID 10 direct attached storage must be used when configuring a virtualized solution and the system should be configured such that virtualized guests are given dedicated memory. Most virtualized installations will require customized hardware configurations. Please contact your sales representative to be directed to the appropriate Tyler technical resource that will be able to assist in hardware selection. Tyler Technologies currently does not offer any training or installation services for the VMWare Infrastructure product or the Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization product. Page 4 of 13
