System Requirements of the Server Components
- Claudius Hörth
Server: Hardware
| Standard hardware configuration | |
|---|---|
| CPU | 4vCPUs |
| RAM | 8 GB |
| HD | 50 GB free storage |
Important:
The final dimensioning of the server hardware depends on several factors:
- What is the load that generally occurs in the software environment?
- Are other application servers running on the Congree server hardware (not recommended)?
- Are the Congree databases in a dedicated Microsoft SQL Server, which is also on the Congree Server?
Please consult our consulting team to discuss these aspects with you.

Server: Operating System
Info:
When installing Congree, it is recommended that the Microsoft server used is in the delivery state. If unknown third-party software is installed on the Microsoft server, or the server configuration has been adjusted unexpectedly, there is a risk of Congree malfunctioning (the IIS configuration is the most risky part).
| Name | Edition |
|---|---|
| Windows® Server 2022 | Standard, Datacenter |
| Windows® Server 2019 | Standard, Datacenter |
| Windows® Server 2016 | Standard, Datacenter |
Windows® Server 2012 R2 Important: After June 30, 2021, this operating system version will no longer be supported by newer Congree versions. | Standard, Datacenter |
Windows® Server 2012 Important: After June 30, 2021, this operating system version will no longer be supported by newer Congree versions. On the Windows 2012 R2 operating system, .NET 4.5 is installed by default, .NET 4.7.2 must be installed manually. | Standard, Datacenter |
Important:
To be able to use the authentication method Trust Windows later on, the host for the Congree server components must be located within the domain.

Note:
• crossTerm Web API
• crossAPI SI
• Congree Connector
Furthermore, Congree needs a user in Across that is exclusively designated for Congree tasks and has the needed rights.
The third-party software of Across Systems GmbH has additional system requirements; see https://www.across.net/en/online-help
Important:
Please note that the Congree Authoring Memory feature requires a third-party component "nssm.exe" that starts a Java process and encapsulates it as a Windows service.
This may require exception rules in your thread prevention configuration, e.g. a virus scanner.
Server: Network
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| Data throughput | 100 Mbit/s | 1 Gbit/s or more |
| Latency | < 10 ms (LAN) | |
Note:

Wichtig:
Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition does not meet the performance and database size requirements of production server installations. It also does not include maintenance and backup tools. It can therefore only be used for test purposes with small volumes.
Important:
SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode must be selected as Server authentication for the database management system. You can find this option in the server properties of your database management system in the Security menu.
Wichtig:
For the SQL user for Congree to interact with the Congree database, you cannot use the following characters in the corresponding password:
- "
- '
- ;
- =
