The Activation Server is a .NET service and needs a Windows server system with .NET.
•Windows Server 2003 SP2 or 2008 R2 (recommended), 32 or 64bit. The latest service pack is required. Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 can be used for testing purposes

The installer package checks, if all necessary components are installed and if it is missing, it will automatically download the component. The installation of every component is described in the following chapters.
We recommend installing the server on a virtual machine. This simplifies the installation and maintenance.
If you have multiple websites running on the same server, a good idea is to create a subdomain for the Activation Server.
