Recommended server system requirements are for environments of more than one user. Customer registration and activation are required and you must purchase one license of Act! per user.

SQL Server Edition Recommendations

Express is free, but limits processor use to the lesser of a single CPU socket or 4 cores. Memory is also limited to 1 GB, and the size of your data file cannot exceed 10 GB. For this reason, we recommend SQL Standard for any deployment over 20 users or 5 GB in size, allowing for growth. Individual performance may vary based on actual database size, hardware variations, and product usage.
