Requirements
Hardware
Intel or AMD CPU class i7 or higher (at least 6 vCore for VM)
PHYSICAL MACHINE RECOMMENDED
​
-
> 8 Gb of Ram (16 recommended)
-
At least 100 Gb of free space for databases and archives
-
It is recommended to use SSD or M2 disks or, in the case of a Virtual Machine, to use the Paravirtual disk controller (for VMware) or with Hy-per-V Generation 2 (for Hyper-V)
-
.Net Framework 4.8 (included in the setup)
Operating Systems
-
Windows 11 pro
-
Windows Server 2016/2019/2022/2025
The entire BusinessLog system works exclusively on a 64-bit platform!
NOTE: The machine must be in the main domain.

The table is intended as an average reference, obviously further evaluations must be taken if invasive collection services such as File server or syslog from Firewall are activated.
If the infrastructure is based on Amd processors it is possible to find the equivalent to Intel.
ATTENTION:
Some antivirus software may block the setup process or prevent the correct execution of the application executables.
It is recommended to exclude the BusinessLog installation folder to allow the processes to run correctly.
Folders to exclude:​
-
C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise\BusinessLog
-
C:\ProgramData\Enterprise\BusinessLog\updates
BusinessLog needs to communicate with the network and with certain external resources; ensure that the firewall does not block any required ports for proper operation.
