Notes

* In general, AspenTech aspenONE® software license agreements with customers permit use aspenONE Engineering suite consists of the following products: AI Model Builder, Aspen Plus family, Aspen HYSYS family, Aspen Exchanger
of the licensed software on Supported Computers at customer Sites. “Supported Computers” Design & Rating (EDR), Aspen Economic Evaluation (EE), Aspen Multi-Case, Aspen OptiPlant, Aspen Basic Engineering (ABE), aspenONE Web
include computers with a manufacture, model and operating system for which AspenTech Server, and aspenONE Exchange.
offers a supported version of the software, and that are controlled by the customer. “Sites” are
customer facilities or locations specified in the license agreement.

AspenTech permits customer use of licensed aspenONE software in the cloud where: (i) the
Platform Support specifications published by AspenTech for the relevant version of the software
product include cloud support; (ii) only the customer has access to the licensed software hosted
by the cloud service provider; and (iii) the user is accessing the software only from a Site
specified in the applicable license agreement.

Cloud deployment does not change any license restrictions, including the restrictions on which
regions can access the software.

When running software on a virtual machine, the machine should meet the same requirements. 1 to 7 and 22-23 & 25 & 27 & 31-32

AspenTech does not support the in-place upgrade of the Operating System (for example:
upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10) with AspenTech software already installed. Our
recommendation is to uninstall Aspen Software before upgrading the OS and reinstall it after
the upgrade.
Your Aspen SLM Server must be installed and running prior to installing any V14 product.
If running standalone, 1280 x 800 is the minimum recommended resolution monitor for servers.

For SLM server using Type 1 Desktop configuration, the minimum memory is 4GB with 20GB
hard drive.
Microsoft Active Directory/Domain Services (Required for aspenONE Web Server)
A minimum of 10GB of free space is needed to install/upgrade products on the C drive.
1
This configuration is only practical for small scale models and deployments. For most
applications, best deployment practice dictates the use of a separate and dedicated database
server for acceptable performance
2
EDR does not use any database servers. Deploys its own LocalDB database files.
