The following sections list the minimum hardware and software requirements to install and run the Expere Authoring Tools: the Requirements and Content Editor and I-32 Design Tool. The Expere Authoring Tools are installed with an embedded Document Engine to provide the necessary document generation functionality for non-production outputs.
