System Requirements

The initial installation of the Firebird Server for your database will require 20 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 (10, 11) - 32 or 64 bit.
