- At least 512MB of RAM (1GB or higher is strongly recommended)
NOTE: Vista users must consult Microsoft or your computer vendor for Vista specific hardware requirements.
- At least 800MHz Pentium-class processor
- At least 1GB free hard-disk space
- CD-ROM drive
- Reliable virus protection software
- Microsoft Word 2007, Word 2003, or Word XP (2002), with the latest service packs installed
- Word-based document management programs (such as WORLDOX or HotDocs) must allow integration of other macros and templates
- Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or later
- Microsoft MDAC version 2.8 or later

Pervasive.SQL Software for the workstations:
- Pervasive.SQL 9.5 Workgroup Edition
The following are recommended, but not required:
- Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
- Internet e-mail
- High-speed Internet connection
Workgroup Installation
A workgroup installation consists of a workgroup host and workgroup workstations. The TitleExpress database is installed on the workgroup host. Workgroup installations are acceptable for 2 or 3 users only.
Workgroup workstations must meet the system requirements for a single-user installation. In addition to the system requirements for a single-user installation, the workgroup host must meet the following requirements:
- Peer-to-peer implementation of the workgroup operating system
- TCP/IP must be an installed protocol
- Name resolution resolves the workgroup host and workgroup workstations names correctly
- Workgroup host and workgroup workstations must communicate successfully via TCP/IP
- Reliable backup software
- At least 1GB of RAM
Pervasive.SQL Software for the workstations:
- Pervasive.SQL 9.5 Workgroup Edition
Client/Server
Network Installation
A client/server network is required for an installation with more than 3 users. It contains a server computer and client workstations. The TitleExpress database is installed on the server computer.
Client workstations must meet the system requirements for a single-user installation.
The server computer must meet the following requirements:
- TCP/IP must be an installed protocol
- Name resolution resolves the server computer and client workstations names correctly
- Server computer and client workstations must communicate successfully via TCP/IP
- Microsoft Windows 2008 or 2003 Server with the latest service packs installed
NOTE: At this time TitleExpress only supports the 32-bit versions of these operating systems.
- Sufficient processors and RAM for the operating system
- At least 1GB of free hard-disk space
- CD-ROM drive
- Reliable backup software
- Pervasive.SQL 9.5 Server Edition
- Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later
- Microsoft MDAC version 2.8 or later
Pervasive.SQL Software for the workstations:
- Pervasive.SQL 9.5 Client Edition
Printers and Scanners
Following are requirements:
- Any Windows-compatible laser or inkjet printer. For newer HP printers, the PCL5e, PCL6, or PS drivers are the required printer drivers. Because of the volume of documents and the legal size paper needed for the HUD-1 Settlement Statement and other legal forms, we recommend a high-speed, dual-tray laser printer.
- Older and/or less robust printers may require additional memory and will perform very slowly when printing complex documents such as the HUD-1 Settlement Statement.
- Scanning devices must have a TWAIN compliant driver and scanning interface.
Pervasive.SQL Software
Pervasive.SQL 9.5 is required for TitleExpress installations. The cost of the Pervasive.SQL software is typically included in the TSS Quote. TSS provides Pervasive.SQL support only when the Pervasive.SQL software is provided by TSS. The Pervasive.SQL software must be installed and configured on your network by a competent systems integrator prior to the installation of TitleExpress. Please contact us at 443-321-5600 for specific setup instructions before installing Pervasive.SQL products.
If a laptop is used to access the server database and a local database for out-of-office operations, Pervasive.SQL 9.5 Workgroup Edition must be installed on the laptop.
Microsoft Components
The Microsoft .NET Framework and MDAC components required by TitleExpress are available for free from Microsoft. They can be downloaded from the Microsoft website.
