2 WHAT OPERATING SYSTEMS AND HARDWARE ARE THE PETEX IPM, IFM & IVM APPLICATIONS SUPPORTED? Answer: Below are the supported operating system and minimum hardware specification for the IPM, IFM and IVM applications. If a particular operating system is not supported, it does not necessarily mean that it does not work on that operating system. It may only be that testing has not been completed. IPM SUITE Platform Support and Hardware Requirements Platform Support IPM Version 8.0 is supported on the following operating systems: Windows XP (32 bit) Windows Vista (32 & 64 bit) Windows 2003 Server (32 bit) Windows 7 (32 & 64 bit) Windows 2008 Server (32 & 64 bit) If you are using the HARDLOCK network licensing to run IPM Version 8 you must be using the latest version of the HARDLOCK which is HARDLOCK V8.1. Please check with your HARDLOCK administrator if the upgrade has been performed before installing IPM Version 8.0. IPM Version 8 has a 32 bit and 64 bit product version. The 32 bit version can run under Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 2008 Server 64 bit as 32 bit applications. The 32 bit and 64 bit versions are separate products and are purchased separately. IPM Version 8.0 can run on Windows Server operating systems only when the server is using the Network License Manager (HARDLOCK) for licensing. A standalone bitlock cannot be used for server operating systems. IPM Version 8.0 is also supported to run on Citrix (Metaframe 4.0). April, 2012 Page 2 of 9

3 HARDLOCK NETWORK LICENSE MANAGER HARDLOCK Version 8.1 (latest Version) is supported on the following operating systems: Windows XP (32 bit) Windows Vista (32 bit) Windows 2003 Server (32 bit) Windows 2008 Server HARDLOCK Version 8.1 is required to run IPM 8, IFM 4 and IVM 6. MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS IPM Version 8.0 Speed 2 GHz RAM (Memory) 2 GByte Disk Space 2 GByte Monitor Resolution SVGA (1280 x 1024) If a standalone bitlock is to be used then one USB port is required for the bitlock. HARDLOCK Version 8.1 Speed 1 GHz RAM (Memory) 1 GByte Disk Space 2 GByte Monitor Resolution SVGA (800*600) A USB port is required for the HARDLOCK bitlock. April, 2012 Page 3 of 9

4 IFM PLATFORM SUPPORT Current version of IFM IFM Version 4.0 client software is supported on the following operating systems: Windows XP (32 bit) Windows Vista (32 bit) Windows 2003 Server (32 bit) if you are using a HARDLOCK network licensing system. Windows 7 (32 & 64 bit) Windows 2008 Server (32 & 64 bit) If you are using the HARDLOCK network licensing to run IFM Version 4 you must be using the latest version of the HARDLOCK which is HARDLOCK V8.1. Please check with your HARDLOCK administrator if the upgrade has been performed before installing IFM Version 4. IFM Version 4 has a 32 bit and 64 bit product version. The 32 bit version can run under Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 2008 Server 64 bit as 32 bit applications. The 32 bit and 64 bit versions are separate products and are purchased separately. IFM Version 4.0 can run on Windows Server operating systems only when the server is using the Network License Manager (HARDLOCK) for licensing. A standalone bitlock cannot be used for server operating systems. IFM Version 4.0 is also supported to run on Citrix (Metaframe 4.0). Hardware Requirements of IFM IFM Database Server (2 3) 3 GHz 4 GB Local Disks (space available for database files) GB Operating System MS Windows Server 2008 Database Platform Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 IFM RTC Server (Automated Jobs Server) (2 3) 3 GHz 4 GB Local Disks (space available for database files) 160 GB Operating System MS Windows Server 2008 April, 2012 Page 4 of 9

5 IFM Client See Hardware Requirements for IPM V8.0. Notes The use of high end specified PCs for the Automated Job services is favorable if multiple fields have to be served. The use of dedicated database server running a single database instance is strongly recommended as well as hosting the database server on a physical machine. The use of dedicated data disk for database files is recommended to provide isolation and protection upon a failure in a single area. April, 2012 Page 5 of 9

6 IVM SUITE IVM Suite 6 Platform Support and Hardware Requirements Platform Support IVM Version 6.0 is supported on the following operating systems: Windows XP (32 bit) Windows Vista (32 & 64bit) Windows 2003 Server (32 bit) Windows 7 (32 & 64 bit) Windows 2008 Server (32 & 64 bit) IVM Version 6.0 are 32 bit applications only. However they can run under Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 2008 Server 64 bit as 32 bit applications. IVM Version 6.0 can run on Windows Server operating systems only when the server is using the Network License Manager (HARDLOCK). IVM Version 6.0 is also supported to run on Citrix (Metaframe 4.0). We will also be releasing a 64 bit version of IVM 7 in This will take full advantage of the benefits of the memory management and processing capabilities of 64 bit computing. The 64 bit version will be licensed as a separate product. April, 2012 Page 6 of 9

8 INFORMATION ON 64 BIT AND 32 BIT IPM AND IFM SOFTWARE For IPM v. 8.0 and IFM v.4.0 there will be two separate products suites the client can choose to purchase IPM v. 8.0 and IFM v Bit Applications IPM v. 8.0 and IFM v Bit Applications The 32 and 64 bit products versions have separate licences. BENEFITS OF 64 BIT APPLICATIONS: A Windows 64 Bit operating system can run both 32 Bit or 64 Bit applications. A single 32 Bit application can use up to a maximum of 2 GBytes of RAM memory. A single 64 Bit application can use up to a maximum of 8 TBytes of RAM memory. Further Windows 7 64 Bit manages more efficiently the use of the processors SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS - IPM AND IFM - 64 BIT APPLICATIONS The IPM suite v.8.0 and IFM v.4.0, 64 Bit applications are supported to run on the following operating systems: Windows 7 (64 bit) Windows Vista (64 bit) Windows 2008 Server (64 bit) LICENSING The IPM and IFM 32 Bit software licence will only allow the 32 Bit applications to be used, even when the Windows operating system is 64 Bit. Clients with 64 Bit IPM and IFM licences will be able to use the 64 Bit or 32 bit software. The number of concurrent licenses is limited by the number of 64 bit licenses under the agreement. UPGRADE FROM 32 BIT TO 64 BIT Clients with existing maintained IPM and IFM licenses will receive IPM Bit as the upgrade and this will continue to be supported by Petex as 32 Bit applications with a long term engineering developments as per all Petex products. There is a economical upgrade from existing IPM and IFM clients with the 32 bit products that wish to upgrade their licenses to 64 Bit products. Please contact Petex for a quotation April, 2012 Page 8 of 9

9 PURCHASING NEW OR ADDITIONAL LICENCES Clients can purchase new licences or additional licences. There is the option to purchase 32 Bit or 64 Bit products. The price list of the 32 Bit and 64 Bit is the standard Petex volume structure meaning that the unit price of each additional licence added to the same agreement for a product is on a descending unit price scale. SHOULD A CLIENT UPGRADE TO 64 BIT IPM AND IFM APPLICATIONS? This is a technical decision which has to be addressed on the user needs and the type of work and models they are running. Petex can give some guidance, however the benefits do need to assessed by the users directly. Points to consider are: PC and Server type and hardware specification The Windows Operating System being supported on the user PC or Server The size of model and current resources that model take - particularly look at the memory If running a reservoir simulation model with more than 350,000 active grid blocks and the user wishes to bring this model into REVEAL they will need a 64 Bit application.
