Preparing for System Platform Installation

This guide describes how to install AVEVA™ System Platform and System Platform Enterprise. System Platform Enterprise provides additional cloud-based capabilities and is supplied separately, on a different DVD. Unless otherwise noted, all information in this guide applies to both products.

You can use the System Platform installation program to install the entire suite of products, or any of the component products.

Before you begin the installation program, you need to prepare your system, and you should plan your installation according to the two installation types available to you, product-based and role-based. See Select a type of installation for additional information.

Your installation planning should also include selection of System Platform or System Platform Enterprise components. See Selecting System Platform and System Platform Enterprise Components for more information.

Make sure that your computer meets or exceeds the hardware and software requirements. System Platform 2023 is not supported on 32-bit operating systems or 32-bit versions of SQL Server. If the installed SQL Server version is not compatible for any reason, installation stops and an error message is displayed. For more information, see Unsupported SQL Server version error message.
