*Installation requirements are general guidelines for CourseMill installation and operation only. Requirements do not include memory and bandwidth needed for user or course capacity. The number of users which can be supported on CourseMill is completely dependent upon the memory and bandwidth capacity of the host server. CourseMill uses minimal system overhead and is scalable to meet the capacity to which the host server is configured.
