BarTender computer and installation requirements

Review supported 64-bit Windows systems and the published memory, storage, display, .NET Framework and SQL Server requirements.

Check the operating system first

The current published specifications are based on 64-bit Windows. The maintained compatibility matrix may be updated faster than marketing pages.

Minimum installation requirements do not replace capacity planning for databases, integrations, logs, concurrency, print volume or high availability.

Validate printers, drivers, fonts, barcode quality, RFID media and network paths with real samples.

Use the maintained manufacturer compatibility information for the exact release before installation.
