System and Software Requirements for Arbortext Publishing Engine
System Requirements
The Arbortext Publishing Engine 64-bit installation requires approximately 1.74 GB of disk space.
Minimum requirements for the operating system and web server application where you will install Arbortext Publishing Engine apply, as it runs within a servlet container or web application server on these systems. However, your site's implementation will likely require more than the minimum requirements. Considerations based on the site's production environment have an impact on optimizing your system, including additional disk space, memory, number of server CPU processors, amount of RAM, throughput and output, number of requests, number and size of documents, number and size of graphics, and other network traffic.
This Arbortext Publishing Engine release is compatible with clients running Arbortext Editor release 8.0.0.0 and later. Some Arbortext Editor exceptions or limitations may apply regarding backward compatibility.
Platform Support
For a complete list of supported platforms, including post-release updates, refer to the Product Release Calendar on support.ptc.com. PTC only provides product support for Arbortext Publishing Engine used on hardware or operating systems described here.

Product Platforms
Arbortext Publishing Engine Web Server and Servlet Container Compatibility
Please take these points into consideration when configuring your environment:
Tomcat Support
You can implement the Arbortext Publishing Engine with Tomcat alone. Tomcat has the ability to handle HTTP requests sent directly to it.
* 
You must ensure that Tomcat is configured in line with current security best practices.
Browser Support
Browser support is listed in the Product Release Calendar for this release. Refer to support.ptc.com.
The web browser support applies to the web clients of Arbortext Publishing Engine and to launch the Arbortext Publishing Engine administrative web page, using a URL like the following:
http://server:port/e3/
Internet Protocol Version 6 Support
Arbortext Publishing Engine supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6).
* 
If Arbortext Editor fails to connect to Arbortext Publishing Engine, it’s possible that Arbortext Editor is running on a different type of network than Arbortext Publishing Engine. Both Arbortext Editor and Arbortext Publishing Engine support IPv4 and IPv6, but they must both be running on the same type of network to avoid an error. Check with your system administrator to resolve networking issues.
