To use the software licensing system (see page ), a WMI service must be enabled (Windows Management Instrumentation, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394582.aspx).

Some fonts require the computer to be restarted after installation. If the font is used by the client application, the client computer needs restarting. If the font is used by the server, the server needs restarting.

When working on Windows 10 via Remote desktop connection, it is recommended that you disable Visual effects of menus and windows in connection settings. This check box is available in additional parameters of the Interaction tab.

Nonvisual 1C:Enterprise access is supported in Windows XP and higher. Nonvisual access requires:

  • Microsoft UI Automation. For Windows Server 2008 or older, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 is required.

    • For Windows XP SP3, using NVDA 2011.1 is recommended. You can download this version from https://sourceforge.net/projects/nvda/files/releases/2011.1/nvda_2011.1_installer.exe/download.
    • For Windows 7 and above, you can use any version of NVDA.
  • For Russian speech, install RHVoice speech synthesizer (https://github.com/Olga-Yakovleva/RHVoice/wiki).

Nonvisual access is available:

  • When working with the managed forms
  • When using Taxi interface with any form item placement mechanism
  • In thin and thick clients

Recommendations for screen reader interface configuration {HL:dev:TI000001780:can be found in the book}.

1.7.2. On Linux

For Linux, the following libraries must be installed:

  • webkitgtk-3.0.0 1.4.3 and later

To use other functions, the following libraries might be required:

  • fontconfig:
    • Library name: libfontconfig.
    • Version: 2.3.0 or later
    • Purpose:
      • For the managed mode of the 1C:Enterprise server
      • When Chart, GraphicalSchema, or SpreadsheetDocument objects are used on server
      • When saving to PDF
  • unixOdbc:
    • Library name: libodbc.

1C:Enterprise loads the library with name specified as LibraryName.so.X.Y, where:

  • LibraryName  one of the values listed above.
  • so  library file flag.
  • X.Y  current library suffix digits.

Only libraries registered in runtime dynamic linker cache can be loaded. (You can read this information by running the ldconfig -p command). If several versions of the library are available, the latest one will be loaded.

1.8. Restrictions

For file infobase collaboration, all client applications must have the same version. At the same time, the client applications may use any architecture (32 or 64-bit application) and any operating system (Windows or Linux).

Maximum number of concurrent connections per infobase is 1,024.

Online collaboration using file infobases is only supported for network resources that are accessed via SMB protocol (CIFS). These resources can be located on both Windows and Linux computers.

Client application running on macOS does not support network infobases.

Please remember that bitness of add-ins and COM objects (on Windows) must match bitness of the 1C:Enterprise application used (thin or thick client, server, or web server). In other words, if a COM object only has 32-bit version, it cannot be used in the 64-bit version of 1C:Enterprise.

The “core” refers to the physical core of a computer CPU or any core of a virtual machine that runs a server cluster.
      • MINI server license (https://1c-dn.com/news/1c_enterprise_8_server_mini_is_available_at_1c_dn_com_online_store/). The license is available for 32-bit and 64-bit 1C:Enterprise servers. Besides the PROF server license restrictions, the MINI server license has the following restrictions:

        • No more than 5 concurrent client sessions and 1 Designer session can be connected to the server
        • 1C:Analytics system is not supported.
      • 1C:Analytics server license. 1C:Analytics license (for more information, see {HL:dev:TI000002293}) can be of PROF and CORP levels. The license is compatible with 1C:Enterprise server license (except for MINI server license) in the following scenarios:
        • 1C:Analytics CORP server license requires 1C:Enterprise CORP server license.
        • 1C:Analytics PROF server license can be used with any 1C:Enterprise server license.

          When using 1C:Enterprise PROF server license, 1C:Analytics server license (of any level) allows you to use Data Accelerator (for more information, see {HL:dev:TI000002114}) and database copies (for more information, see {HL:dev:TI000002112}) for 1C:Analytics only.

      • CORP server license
      • 1С:Collaboration server
  • Feature testing license (http://1c.ru/news/info.jsp?id=25182).
    • Required to test features in beta testing. The feature testing license is an addition to a server license of any type.
    • Features of the feature testing license:
      • The license is activated on the 1C:Enterprise server computer.
      • The license may be granted by the server cluster licensing service.
      • The number of feature testing licenses must be equal to or greater than the number of server cluster licenses for the server cluster that runs the beta testing.
      • The license does not provide for using the server cluster without a server license.
      • The list of features that requires a feature testing license is determined at 1C:Enterprise version release.
      • The final licensing requirements of the tested features are determined at the time these features are withdrawn from beta testing.
    • To obtain a feature testing license, email a request at betaplatform@1c.ru.

1.9.4. CORP license applicability

All 1C:Enterprise features (available under the CORP license) are available, if not more than 10 client sessions are connected to each infobase of 1C:Enterprise server cluster at the same time. In this case, both server and all the client licenses can be of PROF level. If a further session is connected to any of the server cluster infobases, an error is returned, whenever a server cluster supports features provided by CORP license, and the number of CORP licenses is insufficient.

If 1C:Enterprise uses the features provided by the CORP license, and the number of user sessions in one infobase exceeds 10, starting a new user session in this infobase is only possible if there is a sufficient number of CORP client and server licenses.

The number of CORP licenses is considered to be sufficient if all the server licenses used by the cluster are CORP level and one of the two conditions is additionally met:

  • The client application has been granted a CORP client license.
  • The client application has been granted a PROF license and at the time of establishing a new client connection, the ratio of licenses used is as follows: UU <= 1,1 * CL. Where:
    • UU  the number of unique users (uniqueness is tracked by username) of the cluster client sessions with any license type, including the starting session;
    • CL  the number of CORP client licenses available for granting by the 1C:Enterprise server (regardless of the actual status of the 1C:Enterprise server license granting flag).

Consider an example. A CORP server license and a CORP client license for 50 users are installed on 1C:Enterprise server computer. Such configuration provides for:

  • An arbitrary number of client connections if each client connection has a CORP level license.
  • Connection of client application with the PROF license to the server will be possible if after connecting the server will maintain sessions of no more than 1.1*50 = 55 unique infobase users. Therefore, a user with PROF license can access an infobase, only if upon connection the number of unique server cluster users (including the session which is started) fails to exceed 55.
