Database Requirements

GroupID requires an SQL Server database to store and retrieve data. The SQL database may reside on any SQL Server in your environment.

GroupID supports the following versions of SQL Servers:

Database ServersEditions
Microsoft SQL Server 2016Express, Standard, Enterprise Express edition available at: SQL Server 2016 Express edition
Microsoft SQL Server 2017Express, Standard, Enterprise Express edition available at: SQL Server 2017 Express edition
Microsoft SQL Server 2019Express, Standard, Enterprise Express edition available at: SQL Server 2019 Express edition
Microsoft SQL Server 2022Express, Standard, Enterprise Express edition available at: SQL Server 2022 Express edition

The SQL Server Browser service is required and during the installation of SQL Server, you can set its start mode either as Automatic, Disabled or Manual. If it is disabled, SQL Servers are not listed in the SQL Server box on the Database settings page of the Configuration Tool. In that case, you have to type the server name in the SQL Server box to select the required server manually.

To enable the SQL Server Browser service, see How to: Start and Stop the SQL Server Browser Service.

Hardware Requirements

Minimum hardware requirements for GroupID are:

  • 1.4 GHz or faster with four or more cores on a 64-bit processor

  • 8 GB of RAM in case of GroupID-managed Elasticsearch

    6 GB of RAM in case of self-managed Elasticsearch

    RECOMMENDED: We recommend a dedicated server for GroupID. If you install any other application on the GroupID server, adjust RAM requirements accordingly. For example, if you install SQL Server, you may need to add 2-4 GB RAM depending on the edition of the SQL Server.

    Different editions of SQL Server have varying resource requirements. For example:

    • SQL Server Express – Minimal resource usage; 2 GB additional RAM may suffice.
    • SQL Server Standard or Enterprise – These require more resources; allocate 4 GB or more additional RAM for optimal performance.

  • 6 GB or more disk space (for installation only)

    Space requirements are relative to the provider's data size growth for Elasticsearch data.
