NOTES

  • *Microsoft Virtual Server requires that the guest operating system is 32-bit.

  • **GFI EndPointSecurity management console can be installed. Control over devices by the GFI EndPointSecurity agents in virtual environments (Hyper-V and Virtual Server do not support USB devices). Virtual environments with thin clients are not currently supported but maybe in future releases.

  • ****GFI FaxMaker can only be installed in a virtual environment when Fax Over IP (FOIP) is used via XCAPI or Dialogic Brooktrout SR140.

  • ****​Dialogic no longer supports any SDK before 6.7.0 (Included with GFI FaxMaker 2014).

  • ****Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is supported by GFI FaxMaker but IS NOT supported by Dialogic for SDK 6.7.0.

  • Currently, there are incompatibilities between Microsoft .NET Framework and VMWare 64-bit guest operating systems when using some versions of VMWare.
    Further information can be found on the VMWare article 1003945. This article explains the hardware and firmware requirements that needs to be met for installing virtual machines with 64-bit guest operating systems.
