Chromeleon 72 System Requirements /Compatibility2.1 Licensing Requirements / CompatibilityIn order to use Chromeleon you must have a valid licensematching the software version you are about to install.A Chromeleon 7 license has two components:- a hardware component called a USB License Key (dongle), and- a License File that contains the license information.To activate a valid license, the two components must have thesame serial number and must be present at the same time.You will be asked to insert the License Key and to provide aLicense File during the software installation process (section 5.2).If you do not have them at hand, you can also activate a licenselater as described in section 5.5.2.1.1The License KeyThe License Key is a USB device that (together with a matchingLicense File) allows Chromeleon software to be used on thecomputer where the License Key is present.Caution: The License Key represents your purchase ofChromeleon. Protect it as you would protect any other valuableobject.The License Key can be either a new (light blue) Chromeleon 7USB device, or a prior-generation (green) Chromeleon 6 USBdongle.At the time of delivery, new (light blue) License Keys normallycontain the corresponding License File. The License File isautomatically (without warning) moved to the computer the firstInstallation GuidePage 3
Chromeleon 7time the License Key is connected to a computer whereChromeleon 7 is present.Caution: When a light blue License Key is new, do notconnect it to a computer other than the one where it will beused. If the license file is moved to a wrong computer, thelicense file must be manually moved to the computer where itwill be finally used.2.1.2The License FileThe License File contains the license information, such as thesoftware version and the purchased software options.The name of the License File is Chromeleon7 xxxxxx.cmlic,where xxxxxx is the serial number of the license.Tip: The information below is for reference/troubleshooting only;the License File is automatically moved/copied to theappropriate location during the setup/license activation.The license file is stored in the following location:Windows XP:C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Dionex\Chromeleon\Windows Vista / Windows 7:C:\ProgramData\Dionex\Chromeleon\Note: The paths above contain folders that are hidden bydefault. If you need to see them, follow instructions in WindowsHelp on how to display hidden files and folders.2.1.3License Key (Dongle) CompatibilityChromeleon 7 has a different licensing mechanism compared toChromeleon 6.8 and older releases, including all PeakNet 6Page 4Installation Guide
Chromeleon 7releases. It still uses a USB License Key (dongle), but instead ofusing a key code, Chromeleon 7 requires installation of a matchingLicense File.The most recent generation of Chromeleon 6 License Keys (greenUSB dongles) can be used with Chromeleon 7, when a matchingLicense File is available.2.1.4License File CompatibilityChromeleon 7 License Files are bound to main versions ofChromeleon. For example a License File that was provided withversion 7.0 will support 7.0 SR1, but will not work with version 7.1.For the latter an upgrade must be purchased. The updatedLicense File will be provided with the upgrade.2.2 Supported Chromatography Instrumentsand ModulesChromeleon 7 provides full control of most of the current Dionexinstruments. In addition, some third party instruments are alsosupported.

Chromeleon 7** These hard disk requirements are set to enable storage of a substantialamount of data. The software itself requires approximately 3 GB disk spaceon the C drive (twice as much during an update). In addition, a few GB diskspace must always be available on the C drive for Sequences cached inthe XVault (see section 7.4.1).Caution: Please check with Thermo Fisher Scientific todetermine any additional requirements for the instrumentsyou want to connect, for example expansion slots for controllingthird party instruments via RS-232 or GPIB.Caution: For running Chromeleon on 64-bit Windows, acomputer with the “Recommended” specifications is required atminimum.Tip: Please contact Thermo Fisher Scientific for details aboutrequirements for installing Chromeleon in a network.Installation GuidePage 7
Chromeleon 72.4 Supported Operating SystemsChromeleon 7.1 SR2 has been validated for stand-alone use onthe operating systems listed here.Tip: Chromeleon 7 can also be installed on server operatingsystems (Windows Server versions). Please contact ThermoFisher Scientific for details.2.4.1Microsoft Windows 7Chromeleon 7.1 SR2 was tested with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimateeditions.2.4.2Microsoft Windows VistaIt is possible to install and use Chromeleon 7.1 SR2 on 32-bit editions of Microsoft Windows Vista Business and WindowsVista Ultimate; SP2 is required at minimum. However, thiscombination has NOT been formally validated, thus it is NOTrecommended by Thermo Fisher Scientific.2.4.3Microsoft Windows XPChromeleon 7.1 SR2 was tested on SP3 of Microsoft Windows XPProfessional (32-bit). It will not install on previous versions ofWindows XP.2.4.4Windows Service PacksFor security reasons, Thermo Fisher Scientific generallyrecommends installing the latest Windows service pack on youroperating system.However, conflicts between Chromeleonreleases and subsequent Windows service packs are possible.Page 8Installation Guide
Chromeleon 7Caution: Before installing Windows service packs differentfrom those than recommended in this document, always consultwith Thermo Fisher Scientific or check the Thermo FisherScientific web site for Dionex on is tested with the latest Windows service packs.Information and/or Chromeleon updates are provided as required.2.4.5Windows Security UpdatesFor optimum security, it is recommended that you keep yoursystems up to date with the latest security updates. The riskthat a security update itself might interfere with Chromeleon isgenerally low. However, the update process may interfere withoperation of Chromeleon. For example database transactionscould be interrupted by updating SQL Server Express, andinstrument control can be interrupted by updating related systemcomponents.Caution: Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends to use the“Download updates for me, but let me choose when toinstall them” option for automatic Windows updates andchoosing an installation time when Chromeleon is closed andno data acquisition is taking place in the background.Notes: Thermo Fisher Scientific will not formally validate Windowssecurity updates. Installation and testing of security updatesis the user’s own responsibility. If you find any compatibility issue when testing a WindowsSecurity Update, please contact the Thermo Fisher ScientificService for Dionex Chromatography Software for support.Although we will make reasonable efforts to solve suchproblems, we cannot guarantee compatibility with everysecurity update.Installation GuidePage 9
Chromeleon 7Security updates should generally be installed as soon aspracticable, in order to keep the “window of vulnerability” small.Security updates should be briefly tested in the context of thelaboratory’s installation and operating procedures. Thermo FisherScientific recommends the following test procedure to ensuresoftware integrity: Install the security update and Chromeleon on a test PC Qualify the Chromeleon Station: Run a Chromeleon InstallationQualification (IQ) and a Chromeleon Operational Qualification(OQ). You can start the Station Qualification from the Toolsmenu of the Console. You can read more about StationQualification in the Chromeleon 7 Help: AdministratingChromeleon Station Qualification. Perform further PQ tests according to the routines in your lab.2.5 Database Support2.5.1Microsoft SQL Server Express EditionChromeleon 7.1 SR2 uses Microsoft SQL Server Express Editionas the database engine for Standard (local) Data Vaults.If SQL Server Express is not already present, SQL Server 2005Express Edition SP3 is installed automatically during theChromeleon setup, including the necessary server and clientcomponents and the corresponding Software Development Kit(SDK). This takes place before the actual Chromeleon 7installation starts.If an earlier version of SQL Server 2005 Express or if a SQLServer 2008 Express version is present, the SQL Server will NOTbe updated automatically. The Chromeleon InstallationQualification (see section 5.4) reports the installed SQL Serverversion, and the IQReport will contain a Warning if a differentversion than SQL Server 2005 SP3 was found.Page 10Installation Guide
Chromeleon 7If desired, SP3 can be installed by starting the correspondingsetup manually as described in section 5.6.4.4.Chromeleon 7.1 SR2 has been validated to work with the followingversions of Microsoft SQL Server components:- SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, SP3, Version 9.3.4035.00- SQL Server Native Client, Version 9.00.4035.00Note: Chromeleon 7 has not yet been validated to work withSQL Server 2008 Express.Note: Chromeleon 7.1 SR2 only supports creating StandardData Vaults locally on the hard drive of the PC that runsChromeleon 7. Standard Data Vaults can be shared over thenetwork, but the connectivity, performance, and capacity arelimited by SQL Server Express.Tip: Chromeleon also supports other, multi-user optimizeddatabases, namely Oracle and the multi-user (non-Express)edition of MS SQL Server. Please contact Thermo FisherScientific for details.2.6 Required Third-Party SoftwareNote: The sections below are provided for reference only.If not already present, the required third-party softwarecomponents are installed automatically during the setup.
