***************************
MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
***************************


We provide the following minimum, and recommended system requirements.

• 80486 processor or higher.
• 512MB of random-access memory (RAM). This value depends on the "size"
you have purchased (64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GIG). While all versions
may run with a minimum of 32MB of RAM, we CAN NOT GUARANTEE it will.
We highly recommend that you follow the recommended memory configuration
that applies to the particular version you have purchased. Using less
than the recommended memory configuration results in hard drive paging, reducing
performance significantly, or application instability.
• Hard disk with 40 MB of free space for program files, data file access utility, and sample data files.
• Additional hard disk space for scratch files (with the required space contingent on the size of the input data set).
• CD-ROM or DVD drive.
• Windows 2000/2003/XP.

*******************************
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
*******************************


Because Salford Tools are extremely CPU intensive, the faster your CPU, the faster they will
run. For optimal performance, we strongly recommend they run on a machine
with a system configuration equal to, or greater than, the following:


• Pentium 4 processor running 2.0+ GHz.
• 2 GIG of random-access memory (RAM). This value depends on the "size"
you have purchased (64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GIG). While all versions
may run with a minimum of 32MB of RAM, we CAN NOT GUARANTEE it will.
We highly recommend that you follow the recommended memory configuration
that applies to the particular version you have purchased. Using less
than the recommended memory configuration results in hard drive paging, reducing
performance significantly, or application instability.
• Hard disk with 40 MB of free space for program files, data file access utility, and sample data files.
• Additional hard disk space for scratch files (with the required space contingent on the size of the input data set).
• CD-ROM or DVD drive.
• Windows 2000/2003/XP.
• 2 GIG of additional hard disk space available for virtual memory and temporary files.

***************************
ENSURING PROPER PERMISSIONS
***************************

If you are installing on a machine that uses security permissions, please read the
following note.

• You must belong to the Administrator group on Win-NT, Win-XP and Win-2000 to be able
to properly install and license. Once the application is installed and licensed,
any member with read/write/modify permissions to the applications /bin and temp directories
can execute and run the application.

**********************
LICENSING APPLICATION
**********************

CART uses a system of application system ID and associated unlock key. Upon installation
is complete, the user will need to email the application "system ID." This system ID is
clearly displayed in the License Information displayed the first time the application is
started. You can alternatively get to this window by selecting the Help->License menu
option.

Method 1: Fixed License
-----------------------
With a fixed license, each machine must have its own copy of the licensed program
installed. If your license terms permit more than one copy, then the license must be
activated on each machine that will be used.

Method 2: Floating License
---------------------------
This method of licensing your program is used if you intend the program application to
be used by more than one user concurrently over a network. A floating license tracks
the number of copies "checked-out". When that number exceeds your license terms, a
message is provided informing the user "all copies are check-out". The licensed program
may be installed on a machine that each client machine can access. Machines that are not
connected to the network must be issued a fixed license (Method 1 above).

A floating license is particularly useful when the number of potential users exceeds the
number of seats specified in your license terms.

UNIX/Linux

***************************
SUPPORTED ARCHITECTURES
***************************

• Alpha: DEC 3000 or AlphaServer running Tru64 UNIX 5.0 or higher
• Linux/i386: i586 or higher processor; Linux 2.4 or higher kernel; glibc 2.3 or higher
• Linux/AMD64: AMD64 or Intel EM64T processor; Linux 2.6 or higher kernel; glibc 2.3 or higher
• Sun: UltraSPARC processor; Solaris 2.6 or higher
• RS/6000: POWER or PowerPC processor; AIX 4.2 or higher
• HP 9000: PA/RISC 1.1 or higher processor; HP/UX 11.x
• SGI: MIPS 4 or higher processor; IRIX 6.5

***************************
MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
***************************

• Minimum RAM requirement for all non-GUI app's is 32 MB of random-access memory (RAM). This value depends on the "size"
you have purchased (64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GIG).  
• Hard disk with 40 MB of free space for program files, data file access utility, and sample data files.
• Additional hard disk space for scratch files (with the required space contingent on the size of the input data set).


*******************************
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
*******************************

• Recommended random-access memory (RAM) is 1.5 times the licensed data limit (32 MB, 64 MB, etc), up to the maximum permitted by the target architecture. On UNIX systems, it is generally recommended that there be at least twice as much swap space as there is RAM.
• Hard disk with 40 MB of free space for program files, data file access utility, and sample data files.
• Additional hard disk space for scratch files (with the required space contingent on the size of the input data set).

All Salford app's are very CPU intensive, so more memory and a faster CPU are always helpful.
