Computer Operating System Specifications for Interact®

Listed below are the minimum hardware specifications required for Interact 7 to operate. If you are purchasing a new system, consult your PC vendor to make sure it will meet these specifications. Your PC vendor or your company's IT personnel will be able to help you determine any additional PC hardware you will require to have a completely functional system. 


Interact is a client only application.  It does not require a centralized server component.  The central point of access for the client(s) is a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database (the Interact installation routine will install an MS SQL Server Express 2019 database if necessary). If using Interact in a multiple client environment, performance becomes dependent on the network configuration.  This consists of computers, cabling, hubs/switches, and any other network components in your environment.  A qualified network engineer should be consulted to make sure your network is designed, configured and installed properly.
