[1] Servers or client machines running Celiveo Enterprise Solution deployed using the Celiveo Web Admin Installer.
[2] MSI package with capabilities of Print-Direct and Celiveo Server Services.
[3] Client machine running Celiveo Server Services.
[4] Excludes the requirement of additional hard disk space for the installation and storage of SQL Server Express. Depending your organization’s network setup, ensure there is additional space or access to a network storage appliance to store the users’ print jobs. Ensure OS is installed with latest updates.
[5] Celiveo Server Services requires lesser than 100 MB of storage space.
[6] SQL DB Minimum Supported Compatibility Level is 120. Customers that migrated Celiveo databases from older SQL Servers (Levels lower than 120) need to ensure that the SQL DB level on SJPS and CeliveoDB databases is set at a minimum value of 120 on the new SQL Server that they have been migrated to.
To identify the SQL DB level execute the following SQL DB Query:
SELECT NAME, COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL FROM SYS.DATABASES WHERE NAME = 'INSERT_DATABASE_NAME_HERE'
To upgrade the SQL DB level execute the following SQL DB Query:
ALTER DATABASE INSERT_DATABASE_NAME_HERE SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 120
Further information here about SQL Database Levels.
[7] .NET Framework 4.8 is required by Celiveo Web-Admin, TrackGreen-Saver and CVP, .NET Framework 6.0 desktop runtime is required by ABA (Admin Browser Agent). If required, the .NET Framework 4.8 / 6 is enabled and/or installed by the Celiveo installer during the installation process.
[8] Ensure Windows Powershell is allowed on the servers where Celiveo solution is installed, and on client machines where Celiveo Virtual Printer (CVP/CSVP) is deployed. The Powershell script is executed by the MSI installer to process a series of tasks like cleanup, spooler initialization, DLL registration and others, it is dynamically created by the installer and located at C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Temp\pss<4 Random Alphanumeric Characters>.ps1 or C:\Windows\Temp\pss<4 Random Alphanumeric Characters>.ps1
