Enterprise Edition
For the Enterprise Edition, please be aware that infrastructure configurations vary widely from company to company and may impact system requirements. For example, the performance of Leapwork’s software can be significantly impacted by high-latency or low-throughput network conditions, virtual server configurations with noisy neighbors, degraded SAN disk performance at write-time, and many other factors.
For this reason, we suggest an agile approach in which one or more environments are initially set up in real-life conditions and adjusted as usage is increased during the first 90 days of operation.
In general, remember:
- Hardware requirements for Agents are also dependent on the application(s) under test, particularly RAM and CPU. You may find that dimensioning of the Agent is actually driven by this instead.
- The more disk space you have, the more data you can store – the alternative is harsh retention policies.
- The more CPU cores you have, the faster processing and parallelization will work.
- Use high-speed SSDs for data storage with high write or read patterns, and combine with extra RAM.
The following table shows the suggested operating system and SQL server versions supported for the Enterprise Edition

Typically, the Studio is installed on the desktop version. We also recommend this for the Agent. However, when deploying the Agent in the Data Center, it may not be possible to obtain a Windows desktop version. Therefore, the Agent will also run on a Windows Server with Desktop Experience enabled. The Server is installed on a Windows server.
For any clarification, please contact our Priority Support.
