System Requirements


The initial installation of the Firebird Server for your database will require 27 mb.

The normal rate of growth of the database file without file attachments is 1 MB per 7000 records.

Pictures in the personnel records can be added at a rate of about 6 MB per 100 personnel.

If file attachments are added to records, the database will grow in size based on the size of the attachments.

 

Client:

Required Disk Space: 90 mb
Minimum CPU: 1 Ghz
Operating System: Windows 10 or higher - 32 or 64 bit.
Notes: The setup process will download and install .NET 8 if it is not already installed.

 

Database Server:

Required Disk Space: 27 mb for the Firebird server component.
Minimum CPU: 1 Ghz
Operating System: Windows 2000 or higher (2003, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019, 2022)
Ports: The server must accept TCP connections on port 3050.
Notes: KZFirebirdServer.exe will install the Firebird server v. 2.1.7 and the default database files. No additional components such as .NET or Java are required on the server.

 

Asset Manager Database


Asset Manager stores all of the data and pictures in a single database file.
Asset Manager Database files have the file extension “.adb”.
Asset Manager backup files are compressed to save space and have the file extension “.abk”.
Asset Manager uses the open source Firebird database version 2.1.7 for data storage.
The local database is stored at the following location:
Windows XP (for older versions of the software):  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AssetManager\AssetManager.adb
Windows 7, 8, and 10:  C:\Program Data\Asset Manager.adb
The remote database is stored at the following location on the database server:
C:\KZSoftware\AssetManager.adb
Third-party applications can read the Asset Manager database via ODBC. See additional information at the following link:
