Most modern Windows PCs can run DaySmart Desktop. This guide outlines the recommended hardware requirements for single-computer setups and multi-computer networks so you can confirm your computer(s) are a good fit.

Learn which specs are recommended for the computer(s) running the software and, if applicable, the server computer hosting your database.

Recommended specs for a single-computer setup, or for any “client” computer connected to a server:

Use these specs for the server computer that holds your database. All other computers on the network should follow the “Single or Client Computers” specs above.

When running DaySmart Pet from multiple locations, each location will have a server and one or more client computers on the local network. All locations must be connected to the Internet, and be using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to share files and information between the locations.

For each location, follow the specifications listed under “Server Computer” for the computer holding the database (one per location), and the rest of the computers at each location (clients) should follow the specifications listed under “Single or Client Computer.” However, when using DaySmart at multiple locations, you must have a full-time Internet connection at each location.
