These are the system requirements for the complete service-oriented ARCHIBUS suite, which includes ARCHIBUS Web Central, the Smart Client applications, Smart Client workstations, and CAD and BIM workstations.
Sites that choose to use the Windows client/server version should refer to the separate system requirements for that version.
Note: In some cases, manufacturers have shipped versions of the application server, database server, or other components that are of a later version than is listed below. The manufacturers often warrant that these later versions are compatible with software, such as ARCHIBUS, that was written for earlier versions. This is most usually the case; however, the versions below are those that ARCHIBUS, Inc. has explicitly validated through its own tests.
J2EE Servlet Container 2.4 supporting:
Validated containers for Web Central include:
Validated containers for Web Central and Smart Client include:
Note: Your server hardware requirements will vary depending on the number of concurrent users you have working with ARCHIBUS.
The following browsers are supported:
Additionally, you need:
Workstations using the ARCHIBUS Smart Client will need one of these operating systems:
The Smart Client requires the .Net Framework V.3.5
The Smart Client requires these hardware items:
Workstation performing CAD or Building Information Modeling (BIM) tasks should have one of the following software packages:
Autodesk Revit 2011 with Web Update 2, or Autodesk Revit 2012 with Web Update 2, or Autodesk Revit 2013
If you are running the Revit Extension against Revit MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) applications, you need the following:
Autodesk Revit MEP 2013
You can use the Smart Client Extensions for AutoCAD or Revit on either 32-bit or 64-bit workstations. However, you must have a 64-bit workstation to use the Smart Client DWG Editor.
Workstations using AutoCAD, Revit, or Autodesk Architecture may have additional hardware requirements. Please refer to your Autodesk product documentation.

With minor exceptions, you can use the V.20.x Smart Client and V.20.x Smart Client Extensions for Revit and AutoCAD with the V.19.x Web Central application server if you wish to use new features in the Smart Client without updating your server.
Do note that the Smart Client Extension for Revit can use the V.19.x application server, but requires the V.20.x database, which contains new elements such as the ARCHIBUS BIM Families and ARCHIBUS BIM Parameters tables.
With minor exceptions, you can use all of the functionality of the Windows Client/Server version of ARCHIBUS with the same project database that supports the V.20.x Web Central and Smart Client programs. You should be using V.17.x, V.18.x, V.19.x, or V.20.x of the Windows Client/Server program in this configuration. Exceptions primarily involve compatibility with third-party software. V.17.x Windows Client/Server supports older browser versions and older versions of AutoCAD than do the V.20.x Web Central and Smart Client programs.
