Is a desktop computer sufficient to use as a server or do we need a true server?
Yes, a desktop computer can be used as a server. However, it must be used strictly as a server and not as a workstation. A workstation also running a server will very likely slow down program access unacceptably.
Can I have both Mac and Windows clients accessing Freezerworks Server?
The Freezerworks Server must be installed on a Windows OS, but Freezerworks clients can be installed on either Windows or Mac OS.
For a list of supported operating systems, please visit our System Requirements page.
Does Freezerworks support Active Directory?
Freezerworks Server (Ascent, Summit, and Pinnacle) can optionally utilize LDAP or LDAPS to authenticate users at login.
Can I access my data from multiple facilities in different countries?
Yes, deploying Freezerworks across locations outside your network is possible using VPN, RDP, or cloud hosting.
If you are considering deploying to a different facility, talk to your IT team about your existing infrastructure and what options you may have available.
