MKG Workstation System Requirements

To make optimal use of our software, we advise you to meet our recommended system requirements. This article contains advice for using the workstation.

 

A workstation is required to work with the MKG Client and MKG Smart Client software. The software connects to the MKG cloud environment or to the on-premise server.

 

General requirements

When purchasing a new workstation, we recommend always using the most recent processor technology. Due to the rapid development of software, applications increasingly require more performance from the processor. The minimum requirement for a processor is currently Intel i3 technology. If you want to install the MKG Client software on an existing workstation, the requirements below also apply.

 

Memory

The minimum amount of RAM for the operating systems listed below is 4 GB, but 8 GB is recommended. The average memory usage of the MKG Client is 512 MB. This can increase when using multiple modules or when running reports.

 

Harddisk

The minimum amount of free space on the system partition must be 4 GB. The installation of the MKG Client takes approximately 1 GB.

 

Operating system

We currently support the following operating systems:

  • Windows 11 Professional, 64 bit.

 

Network

The network must support a minimum speed of 100 Mbit. A speed of 1 Gbps is recommended. In addition, the following basic settings are necessary:

  • TCP/IP (Version 4).
  • DNS V4 record available to MKG server.

The following outbound rules apply in the firewall solution:

  • TCP, 443, application: MKG appserver based on HTTPS protocol (when using the MKG Cloud).
  • TCP, 8080 or 8443, application: MKG appserver based on HTTP(S) protocol (when using an on-premise server).

 

Internet

 

To ensure proper functioning of the software, an internet connection is required. This connection is used for:

  • retrieving software updates.
  • performing license checks.
  • storing user-specific configurations such as report definitions and formulas.

Please note:
These configurations may be accessed by MKG for support purposes, but they do not contain any business-critical data. No data is extracted for analytical or commercial purposes. 

 

An internet connection is also required to receive remote support. This support is provided using software specifically designed for remote assistance, allowing MKG to temporarily and securely access a workstation to provide help. This access only takes place at the user's request and under their supervision.

If whitelisting is desired, for example when using a firewall or proxy server, traffic to the domain mkg.eu must be allowed, including the following subdomains:

  • support.mkg.eu
  • webshell.mkg.eu

 

Screen

We recommend a screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, with the dpi set to 100%. For workstations that need to run the MKG Planning modules, we recommend larger screen diagonals with higher resolutions. Multiple screens (dual screen) are supported. A graphics chip/video card with support for DirectX 11 (or higher) is required.

 

Additional components

The following components must be installed or enabled prior to installing the MKG software:

  • Microsoft .NET 4.8

Other system requirements
In addition to these, system requirements have also been drawn up for the MKG Cloud, the MKG Server (on-premise or private cloud) and the MKG Terminal Server (on-premise or private cloud).
