SRMS Requirements
To install SRMS on a Windows desktop system, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
Hardware Requirements
Minimum configuration for Windows server:
- Minimum 4GB RAM
- 4 vCPUs
- 10 GB of free space on the installation disk for installation, dependencies, and post-installation management files.
Note
Upgrade the server size to accommodate the necessary recording file size and the history to be maintained.
Supported Operating Systems
SRMS can be installed on any Windows operating system with the necessary prerequisites. Still, installing it on a Windows Server OS is recommended for optimal performance and ease of use.
Where to install SRMS?
SRMS needs to receive, process, and stream session recordings, which requires significant processing power. Hosting it on the same server as the Controller may lead to excessive resource consumption. It is recommended that SRMS be installed on a separate Windows server distinct from the HyWorks Controller.
Software Prerequisites for SRMS
To configure Windows Server with the SRMS, the following software must be installed and configured on the system:
Compatible Erlang/OTP, RabbitMQ, ASP.Net Core, and Dot Net Desktop Runtime Versions and Download Links

Important
About RabbitMQ and Erlang/OTP
-
It is highly recommended to keep RabbitMQ and Erlang/OTP interoperable, following the guidelines. Refer to Erlang Version Requirements | RabbitMQ for details.
-
Not all minor versions are being tested, so it is highly recommended to use the mentioned minor versions.
-
Please check the EOL of RabbitMQ and supported Erlang/OTP versions.
-
Important points to note for ASP.NET Core and .NET Desktop Runtime
-
Download and install only the recommended major version. You can select the highest minor version available. For example, if the recommended version is v8.0., then use 8.0.x. Do not use 8.1.x* or higher.
-
The official site recommends installing the desktop runtime by default, which includes the .NET Runtime, so explicit installation of .NET Runtime should not be necessary.
