Warning

Please note that Pen CS will discontinue support for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 from the 1st of July 2020. Microsoft has discontinued support for these products on the 14th of January 2020 and there will be no further security updates available from Microsoft for their discontinued products. Please update as soon as possible to avoid exposing your network to security risks. Updates from Windows 7 to Windows 10 are still available for free through the Microsoft website - here is an article describing the process: CNET article about Win10 update options

The specifications listed below are for up to five concurrent users, for larger clinics the specifications need to be established based on average server load.

Currently Topbar does not support deployment using Windows RemoteApps.

Whilst Topbar may function correctly, this is not currently an officially supported deployment scenario.

The Topbar database cannot be installed on a domain controller as Microsoft does not recommend installation of SQL Server on domain controllers. If your server is a domain controller, you will need to provide a different computer that meets the minimum specification to install Topbar.
