Software and hardware requirements for optimal product functionality

System requirements for IBM Aspera Point-to-Point Client:

• Product-specific Aspera license file.
• For usage in an Active Directory environment - Access to a domain administrator account for product installation.
• Access to run WMI.
• Screen resolution 1024 x 768 or higher.

• In order to use this application on a cloud platform and access the object-based cloud storage, you must obtain an on-demand license. Please contact Technical Support.
• Identify a directory that you plan to use for sharing data. Later on (in the topic Node API Setup), we will use this directory as the absolute path for the transfer user.
• Verify that the machine's hosts file has an entry for "127.0.0.1 localhost." For UNIX-based nodes, check /etc/hosts. For Windows nodes, check C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
• For UNIX-based nodes, verify that SELINUX is disabled via cat /etc/sysconfig/selinux. SELINUX can be "permissive" or "disabled," but not "enforced."
