The currently supported browsers include the latest versions of: Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Compliant with HTML5 and CSS3.
Cookies are enabled.
Minimum screen size is 1024 x 768.
The following items are required for the application.
Microsoft Windows Server 2016 or later, Microsoft Windows 10 or later.
The latest Microsoft .NET Framework or 4.7.2 minimum (see for information about .NET operating and system requirements).
Windows server minimum requirements (see ) plus 2GB of RAM.
Additional server resources must be considered for other applications which run on the server, such as SQL Server and Antivirus, along with any user specific memory limits.
Phocas stores the data it collects in memory, although it is very good at compressing and minimizing memory usage, this does need to be taken into account. A useful rule of thumb is to ensure the available memory is around 2x the size of the largest sync item.
Free disk space = 300MB.
A good quality and reliable network connection.
Ports:
The machine must be able to reach the Phocas site (https://YOUR_SUB-DOMAIN.phocassoftware.com/) via Port 433.
Any ports used to connect to your data sources i.e. Port 1433 (Standard SQL Server Port) must also be available to the Phocas Sync Program.
The following network ports must be open: Ports 80/443 (HTTP/HTTPS) and Port 1433 (ODBC/SQL Server Connections).
Local administrator access is required to install and upgrade Phocas Sync.
As Phocas Sync usually runs overnight, it's recommended that you consider any automated shutdowns/restarts and other processes that might affect the Sync process, such as Windows updates, database backups and so on.
