Notes

* StarShip supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.

1 : If you install an instance of SQL Express on Small Business Server 2011, an error will occur when running the Surface Area Configuration for Features (required by the StarShip Server Manager). See these instructions for ways to enable it on Small Business Server 2011.

2 : Windows10 includes a new default browser, called Microsoft Edge. Silverlight is not available in the Microsoft Edge browser, but is supported in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 11 is included with Windows 10, however it is not set as the default browser. The Dashboard, Rate Quote, and eNotify use Silverlight, so you must set Internet Explorer as your default browser. You can do this by right-clicking on the Dashboard, Rate Quote, or eNotify program icon and selecting Open with > Choose default program. Select Internet Explorer and click OK.

You can also set Program Defaults in Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Programs and click Set Programs.

 

 

V-Technologies does not recommend or support installations of StarShip, or any of its prerequisite components, on a Windows Domain Controller. V-Technologies reserves the right to deny support for issues related to a StarShip implementation on a domain controller.

For security reasons, Microsoft also recommends against installing SQL Server Express on a domain controller. See section 3.10 "Installing SQL Server Express on a Windows Domain Controller" of the SQL Express readme file.

The StarShip Server conflicts with UPS WorldShip 13.0 or earlier if loaded on the same machine. Do not install the StarShip Server on a machine that hosts UPS WorldShip 13.0 (or earlier) or its residual files.

V-Technologies does not support the installation of StarShip Server on a Terminal Server, Citrix Presentation Server, or in a Citrix load balanced environment.
