*If ROCK MAKER is integrated with an imager, e.g. ROCK IMAGERⓇ Crystallization Imager, the storage availability of either the shared or networked file must be at least 500 GB of hard drive space.
**You can use the SQL Server Express Edition, either version 2008 R2 or 2014 for free. Using either of these editions will only support a limited database (10 GB), limited features, and a single registered user account.
***Our software applications rely on Microsoft SQL Server for storing data. Your local IT group should be consulted to determine the most suitable licenses for your system. Some of the more common setups we have seen are:

  1. The IT groups already have an SQL Server instance accessible by our software. FORMULATRIX is happy to help migrate our databases to an SQL Server instance of our customer’s choice.

  2. The purchase of a “Core” license, which is the simplest of the licensing options.
