Operating System

In April 2014 Microsoft discontinued support for the Windows XP operating system. OLI Systems will continue to support this operating system if possible. There may be a date in the future where support will no longer be possible, at that (as of yet undetermined) time, OLI Systems will drop support for Windows XP and for Windows 2003 (which is a server version of XP).

For all the operating systems listed below both 32 and 64 bit versions are supported.

Operating System (Desktop) Service Pack Supported Comment
XP 3 Yes While possible
Vista Latest Yes
Windows 7 Latest Yes
Windows 8 Latest Yes
Windows 8.1 Latest Yes
Operating System (Server) Service Pack Supported Comment
2003 Latest Yes While possible
2008 Latest Yes
2008 R2 Latest Yes
2012 Latest Yes
2012 R2 Latest Yes


Privilege

Installation: Local administrator privilege is required

Execution: Standard user privilege is recommended.


Additional Software requirements

No additional software is required to run the OLI Software. No additional or external databases are required to run the OLI Software.


Installation and Execution using Virtual Machines

The OLI Software will install and run on a virtual machine. There are two types of security that OLI utilizes. One is a USB (Dongle) based the other is software based. If your virtual computer supports direct hardware access to a USB port then the USB solution is suitable. If no access to a USB port is possible (or a USB ports do not exist) then the software based (soft-key) solution is suitable.


Internet Requirements

No direct access to the internet is required by the OLI Software. If you are running a network copy of the OLI Software then local network access is required. No changes to any firewalls are required unless YOUR local policy requires such changes.

  • Ports

For individual copies of the OLI Software one USB 2.0 port is required for the Hardware Key option. This will support our PH or PA type of USB Key. For the softkey option on individual copies, no port is necessary.

PH type USB key
PA type USB key
LA type USB key
LH type USB key


Network computers which have a USB 2.0 port may use a USB key similar to the PH and PA keys shown above. If no USB ports are available (as with many virtual computers) then a soft-key solution is available.

Software Updates

Updates to the software are checked manually. In each OLI Program there is a HELP menu. From that menu a Check Updates button can be used to see if an update is available.
