NCWISE Workstation Requirements

This page contains workstation requirements certified and/or capatible to run the eSIS 12.1 application. The JRE downloads may be retrieved by clicking on the following links within the table. For Windows environments, you may be given two choices. Please select the one that is appropriate for your computer (32 bit or 64 bit).

The JRE plug-in is required to run eSIS 12.1 and must be pre-installed prior to the first log-in. Installing JRE will not conflict with the existing eSIS 9.1 JInitiator and will not interfere with any current eSIS 9.1 daily activities.

Warning: It is highly recommended that this installation be completed prior to January 4, 2011 to
avoid latency issues within your district's network.
