Windows User Account
You do not need to use an admin user account to use Q++Studio. However, your Windows user account must have full read/write access to all the folders of the table above.
Firewall
Your firewall should be setup as to:
•Allow in/out TCP/IP traffic from any local* IP address on ports 16004 and 16005.
•Allow local* HTTP traffic and file downloads on port 16005.
•Allow FTP traffic on port 21 to the qppstudio.net website (IP address 162.217.146.198).
•Allow SMTP traffic on port 587 to the qppstudio.net website (IP address 162.217.146.198).
•Allow HTTPS file downloads from the qppstudio.net website (IP address 162.217.146.198).
Network connectivity
If you are using a setup with a server and multiple local workstations, then the D:\ or E:\ drive of the server must be shared completely in read/write mode so that all workstations can map their Q:\ drive to it.
* If you are planning to have remote users connecting to the server via the internet, then the server should have a fixed externally accessible IP address, and the firewall should allow external TCP/IP connections to that address, from trusted IP addresses, on ports 16004 and 16005 as well as HTTP downloads on port 16005, from trusted IP addresses.
TeamViewer
Although not absolutely necessary, it is highly recommended that TeamViewer be installed on the server and on each workstation, to facilitate remote support, if ever needed.
