-
The Sentinel RMS license server runs as a system service on Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows Server up to and including Windows Server 2019. Sentinel RMS network licenses can be installed on virtual servers provided that they are locked to a Computer ID USB key. Standalone (single seat) Sentinel RMS licenses cannot be locked against the Computer ID USB keys for use on a virtual server.
-
It is not recommended to have multiple GIBBSCAM versions installed on the same computer when the user has limited rights or UAC is ON as this may potentially cause problems with Simulator.
​
The Simulator is registered during installation using Administrator Privileges. When the Simulator is run, a check is made to determine whether the correct version is currently registered. If it is not, it must be re-registered which is not possible if the user has limited permissions.
-
Domain Controllers are not supported for ToolStore Server and GIBBSCAM due to SQL limitations.
-
There is a known Microsoft issue when running SQL server on drives using 4k sectors. SQL sever and SQL ECSQLEXPRESS Instance should not be installed on a 4k Drive.
-
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 are no longer supported by GIBBSCAM.
-
Windows 8 RT is not supported by GIBBSCAM .
-
SQL Express 2014 has a memory limit of 1 GB and a Database size limit of 10 GB. Performance issues may arise if the database is near this limit. To avoid these issues, if several job images are required, we recommend that they are not stored in the database. Job images can be extracted from the database using a command line option (tsadmin /ExtractJim) which will extract the job images to the ToolStore support folder, JobImages. Please ensure that the server has enough memory to handle the database, if it is not an Express version.
