The program has been designed and tested for the more recent versions of Windows. All functionality will therefore not be available in the older versions of Windows.
No data is stored locally on PCs, but on a server so that all users can immediately view any changes made to data. This implies a lot of data transfer by Internet – the quicker the connection you have, the faster the data is transferred. As a user, you will have to remain connected to the Internet at all times while using the program.

Ports 5432 must remain open to the server if the program is to function properly. Certain firewalls may therefore obstruct the program. Consult this page for more info. |
Other programs
| Info |

All reports generated by dRofus are created as PDF (Portable Document Format). You will therefore need Adobe Reader to read and print these reports. |
In order to utilize the data export function to Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word format, you will need to have these two programs installed on your PC. See Exporting data to MS-Excel and MS-Word

Note that in some environments administrators must add trust to 'dRofus AS' because we start our application from %localappdata%', not %programfiles%. The setup.exe is digitally signed by us, and the certificate can be found by rightclicking setup.exe. |
Uninstall
The network based installer can be uninstalled from Apps & Features dialog in Windows 10, but requires admin privileges. If you do not have admin privileges you can uninstall it using the legacy method via Control Panel → Programs → Uninstall a program.

Programs that utilize dRofus for Add-On or add-on ingratiation (for example Revit or Archicad) will need to be closed before the new version of the Add-On or add-on fully installs. We suggest closing those applications, login to the new version of dRofus, then restart those applications. |
