- OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3
- Multiple cores (modern CPU with four or more cores)
- 2 GHz CPU speed or better
- 8 GB of RAM
- 2 Gbps Ethernet card & switch
- Adequate file descriptors (typically 8192 or higher)
- A physical machine
Notes:
- Docker and other containers are not supported.
- Virtual machines are not recommended as they can impact license server performance.

NOTE ON OS SUPPORT:
- Synopsys builds its products on a selected "base" version of each operating system.
- Operating system vendors guarantee that applications compiled on a lower minor version of an operating system will be binary-compatible with higher minor versions of the same operating system. This means that an application supported on OS version X.Y should run on OS version X.Z. For example, a tool supported on RHEL 6.6 should also run on RHEL 6.7.
- Synopsys relies on the OS vendors' binary compatibility claim and supports running higher minor versions.
- Synopsys also relies on the vendors' binary-compatibility claim on support across major versions. For example, a tool supported on RHEL 6.6 should also run on RHEL 7.2.
