Adept Web Server Requirements

Hardware

Processor

Minimum:  2.5+ GHz processor with 4 or more cores
Recommended:  3+ GHz processor with 4 or more cores

Memory

32 GB

High Utilization System: 48 GB 1️⃣

Disk Space

13 GB for Web Server installation.

GPU Recommendation 2️⃣

NVIDIA Tesla T4 with certified enterprise drivers

Refer to Appendix 1 - GPU Recommendations for Adept Viewer for further recommendations.

Notes:

More than 50 concurrent users, multiple remote sites, or heavy use of Adept Viewer are considerations for high utilization.

Customers are strongly encouraged to configure a GPU for the Adept Web Server. Doing so offloads rendering operations from the CPU. This significantly reduces CPU load for Reviewer and Explorer users in Adept Viewer.

Notes:

Viewing for Word and Excel is validated using mainstream Office desktop editions of Word and Excel; Office LTSC is not actively tested. Because LTSC provides the same core Office applications, it is expected to work for standard document conversion and viewing scenarios.

NEW REQUIREMENT - Beginning with the 2026 release, Inventor Apprentice Server 2026 must be installed separately from Inventor 2026. Both are required to view IDW documents.
