Overview

Please follow the system requirements specified herein to successfully install and run Adept Servers and Clients for the Spring '26 (11.4.5) release.

Welcome to the System Requirements page for the Spring '26 (11.4.5) release. This guide outlines the components and specifications needed to successfully install and run Adept Servers and Clients in your environment.

Whether you're setting up a production system or a testing sandbox, following these requirements will help ensure optimal performance and stability.

Required Components for a Complete Installation

A fully functional Adept server-side installation includes the following:

• Adept Native Server

• Adept Web Server

• Adept Database instance

• At least one supported vaulting method for managing files

To enable full administrative functionality, the Adept Desktop Client must be installed on:

• The Adept Native Server

• One or more additional computers, depending on your user and integration needs

Additional components that may be part of a complete Adept environment include:

• Desktop Clients

• CAD Integrations

• Web Clients

Licensing Requirements

A valid Serial Number and Authorization Code are required to activate and operate the Adept Native Server.

New customers are sent a Serial Number and Authorization Code from Synergis Software to serialize the Adept Native Server.

Authorization Codes are available through a Customer Success Manager, Account Manager, or via the Request Auth Code option in the Customer Portal.

Processor and Hardware Recommendations

Each section that follows will list the Minimum and Recommended processor clock speeds. For best results, we strongly recommend using hardware that meets or exceeds the Recommended specifications.

Keep in mind:

• Minimum specs may be sufficient for sandbox or lightly used environments.

• Processor age matters: Systems with CPUs older than 3 to 5 years should be upgraded to newer models for improved performance and compatibility.

• Adept applications do not support ARM-based processors.

GPU Considerations

To support rendering operations in Adept Viewer (used by Reviewer and Explorer users), we strongly encourage installing a GPU on your Adept Web Server. Without a GPU, rendering tasks will fall back to the CPU, potentially impacting performance for Reviewer and Explorer users.

Prerequisites

Beginning with Adept 11.4.0, Adept client applications now require two .NET component installations. For 11.4.5 those are: Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.25 or later, and Microsoft ASP.NET Core Hosting Bundle 8.0.25 or later.

Deprecations

As part of ongoing product refinement, the Bill of Materials Automation has been officially deprecated to better align with current user needs. If you have concerns or rely on this plugin, we encourage you to contact your Adept Customer Success Manager or reach out directly to our Product Management Team.

Adept Mobile Support

Please note that release 11.4.5 does not include Adept Mobile support in this interim update. Adept Mobile support is available in release 11.4 and is planned for our next release. If you have questions about your current version or upgrade path, please reach out to your Synergis Customer Success Manager.

System Requirements Online

You’re now viewing our System Requirements in a more streamlined, web-based format—part of our ongoing effort to make technical content easier to access, navigate, and apply. Over time, more of our documentation will transition to this format to improve the user experience. We hope this enhanced approach supports your work, and we welcome your feedback. For easy access in the future, we recommend bookmarking the main documentation landing page, which links to this and other online resources. Note that you may access documentation from Winter '25 (11.4.0) as well as this release Spring '26 (11.4.5) through a selection at the top left of any page, except the main landing page.

Adept works with a variety of software and applications, including database engines, email systems, FTP servers, and operating systems. Adept has been tested and qualified using specific versions and components most used by our customers. Consequently, we can verify that Adept works with these components. However, it is impossible to test and qualify every possible version, brand, type, or combination of components that customers may use. Typically, when customers implement Adept in an environment that contains an untested component, they find that Adept works correctly — but not always. If incompatibilities are found, please bring them to our attention. At our discretion, we may attempt to get Adept running with that component, or we may recommend installing and using a supported component instead.

If you have questions about whether a particular component has been qualified with Adept, please contact your Synergis Customer Success Manager.
