System Requirements
FEFLOW 6 is designed with native user interfaces for Microsoft Windows environments as well as for Linux operating systems. It can be used both on single user workstations and in networks in client/server mode. The following configurations are recommended as a minimum:
Windows:
- Windows XP, 2003 Server, 2008 Server, Vista, Windows 7
- 32-bit or x64 Editions
Linux:
- FEFLOW is available for a number of different 32bit and 64bit Linux distributions. Please check the download section for currently available installations. Installation packages for other Linux systems may be available on request (support@dhi-wasy.de).
Graphics:
- FEFLOW applies the Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) for hardware-based graphics acceleration. In several cases graphics drivers, especially generic drivers provided with the operating system, do not support OpenGL sufficiently. Thus we recommend to install a specific driver for the installed graphics hardware or updating the graphics driver to the latest version.
Dongle:
- FEFLOW is protected by an Aladdin hardware key. Three different versions are in use:
- Hardlock parallel port: Mostly used for older licenses and by users who have been working with FEFLOW for a long time.
- Hardlock USB Key: This hardware key had been distributed for some years as the standard.
- HASP HL – USB: All new licenses since the beginning of 2007 have been delivered with this hardware key. It is now the standard key for DHI-WASY software protection.
- Compatibility: The HASP HL key requires the Aladdin driver installed with a recent installation of the FEFLOW license manager NetLM. NetLM is available for download from: http://www.wasy.de/deutsch/produkte/netlm/download.html
