1 In addition to the requirement for Free Hard Disk Space (above) note that the performance of applications running on Windows will begin to deteriorate if less than 10% of the hard disk is free. It is therefore recommended that available hard disk space be maintained at a level greater than 10%.
2 A Database Engine on the Geobank Client Machine is only required if the SQL database, or a test copy of the database, is stored locally.
