* In general, AspenTech aspenONE® software license agreements with customers permit use of the aspenONE Engineering suite consists of the following products: Aspen Plus family, Aspen
licensed software on Supported Computers at customer Sites. “Supported Computers” include HYSYS family, Aspen Exchanger Design & Rating (EDR), Aspen Economic Evaluation (EE), Aspen
computers with a manufacture, model and operating system for which AspenTech offers a Basic Engineering (ABE), aspenONE Web Server, and aspenONE Exchange.
supported version of the software, and that are controlled by the customer. “Sites” are customer
facilities or locations specified in the license agreement.

AspenTech permits customer use of licensed aspenONE software in the cloud where: (i) the
Platform Support specifications published by AspenTech for the relevant version of the software
product include cloud support; (ii) only the customer has access to the licensed software hosted by
the cloud service provider; and (iii) the user is accessing the software only from a Site specified in
the applicable license agreement.

Cloud deployment does not change any license restrictions, including the restrictions on which
regions can access the software.

When running software on a virtual machine, the machine should meet the same requirements. 1 to 7 & 22&27

AspenTech does not support the in-place upgrade of the Operating System (for example: upgrade
Windows 7 to Windows 10) with AspenTech software already installed. Our recommendation is to
uninstall Aspen Software before upgrading the OS and reinstall it after the upgrade.

Your Aspen SLM Server must be installed and running prior to installing any V11 product.

If running standalone, 1280 x 800 is the minimum recommended resolution monitor for servers.

For SLM server using the Type 1 Desktop configuration, the minimum memory is 4GB with 20GB
hard drive.

When you have more than 8 simultaneous users, the recommendation is 2CPU's and 4GB RAM
per user. Performance will vary based on product and usage profiles. This can be considered a
starting point for large multi-user machines.
