MINIMUM SERVER SETUP FOR UP TO 5 ALLPLAN USERS:

• Intel Xeon processor or compatible
• 48 GB RAM
   

RECOMMENDED SERVER SETUP FOR UP TO 5 ALLPLAN USERS:

• 2 x Intel Xeon processor with at least 2 GHz each
• 64 GB RAM
• Server graphics card for vGPU Usage (e.g. NVIDIA Grid) with at least 2 GB per user

RECOMMENDED SERVER SETUP FOR MORE THAN 5 ALLPLAN USERS:

• You need a separate server for every five Allplan users. Make sure that each server meets the requirements stated above.

• Citrix Virtual Desktops Standard 7 1909 / Windows 10 Pro 64-bits for virtual desktop
• WIBU license server on a separate server

NOTES / RESTRICTIONS:

• The Allplan performance under Citrix depends on the network performance and can be somewhat slower compared to local installations.
• An external connection requires a high-performance setup: a latency of not more than 20 milliseconds; download bandwidth of at least 16 Mbit/s (recommended: 25 Mbit/s); upload at least 5 Mbit/s.
• You are advised to set the size of the crosshairs to off (cursor only) in the Allplan options.

Hardware recommended for Citrix servers varies depending on the Windows Server Edition. You can find recommendations for these editions on the Microsoft website:
microsoft.com

Information on configuring, optimizing and running Citrix can be found on the Citrix website:

• A new Allplan Exchange Online service is available since 24.04.2023.
• Since then, the use of the Allplan Exchange Online service is only possible in connection with Allplan version 2023 or higher.
• The web address of Allplan Exchange remains unchanged: https://exchange.allplan.com

• Minimum requirement: 10 Mbit/s Internet access (50 Mbit/s Internet access recommended)
• Recommended: Current version of a virus scanner
• JavaScript
• WebGL 1.0
• Internet browser in the latest version
• Supported browsers: Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and the respective derivatives
• ATTENTION: Microsoft Internet Explorer is not supported

• macOS Catalina 10.15
• Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac, Pro Edition
• Windows 10 64 bits, version 1903

NOTES:

• A trial license cannot be used under Parallels.
• Since Parallels Desktop does not support OpenGL 3.3, Allplan uses GDI+ and this graphics card is shown as "unsuitable" in the system test.
• In Allplan, under Options > Display > Hardware acceleration Graphics > "Use OpenGL for graphics window" must be deactivated.

• MacBook Pro or iMac as of end 2015
• Intel Core i5, i7 or i9 Processor
• 32 GB RAM
• 50 GB free hard disk space
• Graphics board by AMD or NVIDIA (Note: Because Parallels does not support OpenGL 3.3, Allplan uses GDI+ and the video card is shown as "unsuitable" in the system test)

NETWORK:

• An internet connection that is stable and uninterrupted.
• Minimum requirements: 10 Mbit/s for upload; 20 Mbit/s for download, the latency must be less than 50 milliseconds (you can check this by means of Allplan Performance Diagnostics, for example).
• Recommended: 50 Mbit/s for upload; 100 Mbit/s for download, the latency must be less than 10 milliseconds (you can check this by means of Allplan Performance Diagnostics, for example).
• Current network drivers
• Network connections based on LAN (better than WLAN)
   

LOCAL FILE STORAGE FOLDER:

• If possible, use a local (SSD) hard drive for the local file storage folder; network drives slow down access. The local file storage folder must not be shared between several users; this might cause massive problems. The Services window shows the path of the local file storage folder.
• You can find information on how to change the path of the local file storage folder in a FAQ on Allplan Connect; for example, enter the following search term: “local file storage folder Allplan Share”.
   

HARDWARE:

• The hardware requirements are the same as those for Allplan.

• You have an Allplan Bimplus/Allplan Connect/Allplan Campus account
• An Allplan Bimplus team is available
• To create Allplan Share projects, you have to be the team owner or team administrator of the Allplan Bimplus team
• You have one or more Allplan Share licenses
