- A personal computer running Windows XP/Vista/7, MacOSX or Linux (for installation only). Only the Windows version is available for download from the Valence Store. If you would like a Mac or Linux installer please email support@cnxcorp.com.
- A compatible browser on client computers. This version of Valence has been extensively tested with Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.6 and Safari 4.0. Google Chrome is also very likely to work fine, but we do not currently QA test Valence with Chrome.
- 5722ST1 is required to use AutoCode, and for the ability to recompile many of the Valence core programs.
- If you would like to use the PDF and/or Email capabilities of Valence then you need 5722JV1 *BASE and option 6, Java Developer Kit 1.4. This is installed on most systems by default. After installing this version of Valence, just try to run the PDF and email examples. If they work then you know for certain your system has the correct configuration. Note that even though Java is required, you do not need to know or use Java to develop PDFs or send emails with Valence. You will use the Valence RPG Toolkit procedures, which use certain Java functions behind the scenes.
