Server requirements — PriApps Docs

Supported operating systems

Server OS

Windows Server 2016 (all editions — support ends Jan 12, 2027)
Windows Server 2019 (all editions — support ends Jan 9, 2029)
Windows Server 2022 (all editions — support ends Oct 14, 2031)
Windows Server 2025 (all editions currently supported by Microsoft)

Desktop OS

Windows 11 (all editions except Home, currently supported by Microsoft)

Desktop OS limitation. Although PriApps will run on a supported Windows desktop OS, performance may be affected due to the 20 concurrent network connection limit. Deployments with more than 5 managed printers/MFPs, or that require high-volume usage, should always use a Windows Server OS.

Hardware requirements (minimum)

Field	Description
Processor	Intel® Xeon® server processor or equivalent
RAM	8 GB
Disk space	100 GB minimum (see sizing guidance below)
Network	TCP/IP connectivity to all managed print devices

Disk space sizing

For Secure Print Release / Pull Print, use this formula to calculate minimum disk requirements:

Minimum disk (MB) = Printers × Jobs/hr × Max job size (MB) × Hold hours × (1 + Contingency)

Example:
10 MFPs × 60 jobs/hr × 10 MB × 3 hours × 1.2 contingency = 21,600 MB (~21 GB)

Database sizing

Each server transaction (print job, copy session, etc.) requires approximately 1.25 KB of database space.

Example: 500 users × 10 transactions/day × 1.25 KB = 6,250 KB/day
  = ~6.1 MB/day | ~134 MB/month | ~34.6 GB/year

Other requirements

Internet connection for online licensing
TCP/IP network for server and print devices
Wireless network for smartphone apps
Supported browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge, Internet Explorer 8+
Anti-virus programs should be configured to exclude the PriApps Application Server directory from real-time monitoring

Printer drivers should have SNMP disabled when using PriApps for Secure Print Release, as bidirectional communication between drivers and devices is not supported in this mode.
