This page lists the system requirements for the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client.

Overview

This section contains the server recommendations and client workstation requirements for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web client supported by the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Support Team.

The Microsoft Dynamics GP Web client provides access to Microsoft Dynamics GP through the Internet Explorer web browser. The user experience and functionality provided by the Microsoft Dynamics GP Web client closely matches the experience of using the Microsoft Dynamics GP desktop client.

No client application software is installed on the user’s local system. The Microsoft Dynamics GP application process for the user is running on a separate server. A Silverlight 5 application running inside the web browser on the user’s computer presents the application.

The web client application software is installed on one or more servers using one of three deployment configurations outlined below and documented in the Web Client Installation and Administration Guide.

Deployment Configurations

Single Machine	Scale Out	Multi-tenant
In this configuration, all of the web client components are installed on a single server.	In this configuration the Web Server and Session Server (Session Host) components are installed on different servers. There can be any number of web and session servers deployed depending on the number or web client users and redundancy needs.	This configuration is similar to the scale out configuration but is set up for access by multiple customer organizations. The server recommendations remain the same as the scale out configuration for the Web Server and Session Server.

Single Machine Recommendations

Item	Requirements
Operating System	Microsoft Windows Server 2012 - Datacenter Edition or Standard Edition - Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 or later - Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition
Processor	1 Quad Core or 2 Dual Core Processors or higher (see note 7)
Minimum Available RAM	4 GB – Up to 25 concurrent web client users - 8 GB – Up to 60 concurrent web client users - 16 GB – Up to 120 concurrent web client users
Network Card	1GB Ethernet or Fiber
Bandwidth Consideration	Planning Average: 25,000 Kilo Bytes(KB)/sec per active Web Client user with spikes up to .25 MG/sec (see note 4)
Internet Information Services (IIS)	IIS 8.0 - IIS 7.5
Other Applications	.Net Framework 4.0+ - ASP.Net 4.0+ - SQL Native Client - Adobe Reader (Required to read or print manuals)
Back Office Server	All deployments require a dedicated Microsoft SQL Server. Refer to the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 System Requirements
Windows License Guidance	Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client requires both Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server. Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server – and their corresponding Client Access Licenses (CALs) are not included with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013. They must be acquired separately in accordance with the applicable licensing requirements for these products. These licenses may be purchased through traditional Microsoft Volume Licensing channels.

NOTES

The web server computer name cannot contain an underscore (_).
Hyper threading can be enabled for the processors.
When you deploy a system in a virtual environment, make sure that you have sufficient hard disk space to avoid performance problems. Each computer that you deploy in a virtual environment should meet or exceed the random access memory (RAM) requirements and the hard disk space requirements. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 897615 Support policy for Microsoft software running in non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software.

Server recommendations for Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services can be found in the System Requirements for Dynamics GP 2013 Web Application.
Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client must be installed in a domain environment
Processor requirements are minimums and will need to increase as number of concurrent web client users increase per machine.
