System Requirements

The PCoIP License Server requires an environment with the following minimum specifications:

Requirement
Available disk space 500 MB
Available RAM 4 GB minimum available RAM
CPU 1GHz
Supported virtual environments AWS EC2
VMware ESXi 6.0+
QEMU-KVM 2.7
GCP instances
Microsoft Azure (tech preview)1
Operating System RHEL/Centos 7 or 8
Compatible PCoIP agents 2.11+ (any agent type)

Caution: Systems with less than 4GB of available RAM may fail

You should have at least 4GB of available RAM on the License Server machine. Instances with insufficent memory may not work.

Caution: Don't install more than one type of license server on the same machine

The PCoIP License Server version 21.03 cannot be installed on the same machine as the PCoIP License Server 1.x or an NVIDIA GRID License Server.

Important: PCoIP agent compatibility requirement

The PCoIP License Server 21.03 is compatible with all PCoIP agents version 2.11 or newer.

Important: Network visibility

The PCoIP License Server must be visible on the network to any PCoIP agents that use it for license validation.

Danger: Migrating from RHEL/CentOS 7 to RHEL/CentOS 8

If you have currently deployed a PCoIP License Server on RHEL/CentOS 7 and wish to upgrade to RHEL/CentOS 8, do not upgrade the operating system in place. Updating the operating system could invalidate your PCoIP licenses. See Migrating from RHEL/CentOS 7 to RHEL/CentOS 8 for a supported migration path.


  1. The PCoIP License Server 21.03 is currently supported as a technology preview on Microsoft Azure machines. It is intended for early adopters and may not work as expected in all situations. It is not appropriate for production systems.
