Visure Requirements ALM Platform—System Requirements
The commercial open databases supported by Visure Requirements ALM are the following:
- Microsoft SQL Server:2008, 2012, 2014,2016,2019
- ORACLE: 10, 11, 12C,18C
- Postgres 13, 14
For smaller deployments, with a relatively small number of items (< 5000 items) and concurrent users (< 5 concurrent users) the following databases are currently supported:
- SQL Server Express
- Oracle Database Express
These databases have built-in performance restrictions. Visure highly encourages reviewing these restrictions before deploying them.
The migration between any of these databases is fully supported within Visure Requirements.

Visure Requirements ALM License Server
Only one Visure License Server installation will be necessary for all Visure Requirements ALM users.
The Visure License Server must be installed in a Windows Server 2008 (32 or 64-bit), Windows Server 2012 (32 or 64-bit), Windows Server 2016 (32 or 64-bit), Windows Server 2019 (32 or 64-bit), Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit), Windows 8 (32 or 64-bit), Windows 10 (32 or 64 bit) or Windows 11 (32 or 64 bit) with Administration rights.
By default, Visure License Server uses port 6200 (this can be changed) for communication with client installations, so this port is need to be opened.
Communication Requirements
1 GB/10 GB LAN between the VR clients and the Visure repository. There must be bidirectional communication via TCP/IP between the License Server and the VR clients. For further details on how to install Visure Requirements, please review Visure Requirements ALM System Requirements.
For medium-to-large deployments, a client virtualization solution is recommended. Please contact us to discuss various possibilities.
