To run SmartCollect SC², you must have a supported operating system, hardware that meets or exceeds minimum requirements, a supported database, and a supported browser

The following operating systems are supported for SmartCollect SC² installation:

Installation of SmartCollect SC² on other operating systems is possible, but it is neither recommended nor supported.

Minimum recommended memory: 255 MB Minimum recommended CPU: 1

Some features might require more memory or CPUs. Features require more resources include:

SmartCollect SC² supports the following databases:

By default, SmartCollect SC² installs with and uses SQLite, which is an embedded database stored in the SmartCollect SC² installation location.
