    Bitness of Excel

    Recent Office and Excel comes in two architectures called "bitness" - either 32-bit or 64-bit. Versions of Excel after 1994 and before Excel 2010 were 32-bit only. The F9 add-in must match the bitness of the Excel it is attaching to. There are different F9 installs for 32 and 64-bit Excel.

    Click-to-Run Office

    F9 Report Writer and F9 Viewer require .NET Programmability support in Excel. Only fully installed versions of Office are supported. Click-to-Run versions that are only partially downloaded or installed locally are NOT supported. Office running on the Web is not supported. ...see more

For F9 Scheduling Hub or F9 add-in Scheduler, the "Allocate Resources at Startup" setting in the Pervasive Control Center should be enabled. Also for F9 products using PSQL on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, only PSQL V12 and above is supported.

    Hardware

    Disk space

    Individual F9 products typically take up less than 30MB of space. An F9 Professional installation with Datapump and Actian Zen PSQL combined may approach 300MB.

    Memory

    This can vary widely depending on the size of the data in your ERP and the functionality you use in F9. The base F9 add-in along with it's dependent components takes approximately 60MB of RAM. For F9 Professional, the base Pervasive database engine requires approximately 140MB of RAM. Large amounts of data may add to this value significantly. It is important to understand that the size of the content of your workbooks can be quite substantial in memory and Excel's memory usage can easily dwarf the amount of memory used for F9 itself. These are per-user amounts as well so shared server resources need to be examined carefully to maximize performance.
