Our Software
System Requirements
Minimum system requirements
Running our management software on a system that does not meet these requirements is not supported.
Processor type and speed
x64 (64-bit) compatible processor (Intel or AMD), minimum 1.8GHz.
Operating System
Windows 10*, .NET Framework 8.0.0**, and WebView2 runtime is required to run the software. Xperios is not currently supported on Mac OS.
Network
An active network connection is required upon initial startup and synchronisation. Offline working is supported but limited to read only mode.
Hard disk
Minimum 5GB. Customers with large databases should have at least 10GB of free disk space.
RAM
Minimum 4 GB RAM, recommended 8 GB RAM.
Graphics & Video
Minimum Recommended 1400 x 900 pixel resolution.
Browser
A modern browser - such as Chrome, Edge or Firefox, is required for the online Portal. iPad 14 OS or higher required.
*(minimum Windows 10 ver. 1903 May 2019). All required runtimes are included with the official Xperios distribution MSI.
** as of 1 May 2024. Currently .Net 6.0.3 is supported.
.Net Desktop Runtime 8.0.3 & WebView2
Xperios relies on your Windows devices being up-to-date. When the Xperios updater is run, it will automatically check to see if you have the correct .Net Framework and WebView2 installations. The link to download these requirements can be found below.
Whitelisting
As a Software-as-a-Service solution, Xperios connects you to your data via the web (HTTP/HTTPS – port 80 and 443), using Microsoft standard TLS encryption.
In some cases, your IT department may have restrictions in place to limit how much data you can receive to manage students. If this applies to you, contact your IT department and ask them to whitelist the following (Paritor-owned) IP addresses and grant read and write access (unless mentioned otherwise). If you are working on a network without restrictions (such as from home), you do not need to worry about this.

Whitelisting
As a Software-as-a-Service solution, Ensemble connects you to your data via the web (HTTP/HTTPS – port 80 and 443), using a secure Microsoft standard TLS encryption.
In some cases, your IT department may have restrictions in place to limit how much data you can receive. If this applies to you, contact your IT department and ask them to whitelist the following (Paritor-owned) IP addresses. If you are working on a network without restrictions (such as from home), you do not need to worry about this.
13.69.68.32
13.94.143.57
52.232.127.196
51.143.191.44
The DNS Names are
paritormanagerv4-3.azurewebsites.net
paritorensemblev4-3.azurewebsites.net
paritorapiservicev26.azurewebsites.net
paritorapiconnector.azurewebsites.net
Alternatively, you can setup a whitelist using the following URL’s:
(Please note: these URL’s may change, whereas the IP addresses will stay the same. We, therefore, suggest that for whitelisting purposes you use the above IP addresses)

Connecting Paritor Ensemble through your firewall
Paritor Ensemble is a desktop application that communicates with our hosted services over standard secure web traffic. If your organisation restricts outbound internet access, your IT team will need to allow the addresses below.
All connections are outbound only, over HTTPS (TCP port 443). No inbound access to your network is required, and no other ports need to be opened.
Addresses to allow
| Address | Used for |
|---|---|
paritorensembleappservice.azurewebsites.netNew | Ensemble application services |
paritormanagerappservice.azurewebsites.netNew | Paritor Manager services |
paritor.blob.core.windows.net | Documents and images stored against your records |
schooble.blob.core.windows.net | Schooble document storage |
help.paritor.com | Online help, opened in your web browser |
live.paritor.com | Parent and teacher portal links, opened in your web browser |
If you have allowed Paritor before
Our service addresses changed in 2026. If Ensemble has stopped connecting, this is the most likely reason. The following addresses are no longer used and can be removed:
paritorensemblev4-2.azurewebsites.netparitormanagerv4-2.azurewebsites.net- The IP address
51.143.191.44
Using IP addresses instead of names
Wherever possible, please allow the addresses by name rather than by IP address.
Our services are hosted on Microsoft Azure. The underlying IP addresses are not fixed: they can change when services are moved, scaled or updated, and we are not always able to tell you in advance. A rule based on a name keeps working when that happens; a rule based on an IP address will stop working without warning, and the symptom is Ensemble simply failing to connect.
If your firewall genuinely cannot filter by name, the two service addresses above currently resolve to:
51.105.74.160— correct as at 24 September 2026
Please treat this as a temporary measure and re-check it periodically. Two things are worth knowing before you rely on it:
- This address is shared Microsoft Azure infrastructure. Allowing it does not grant access only to Paritor, so it is a broader rule than allowing our addresses by name.
- It is a point-in-time value. We cannot guarantee it will not change, and we would encourage you to revisit any IP-based rule if Ensemble stops connecting.
Proxy servers
If your organisation uses a proxy server, Ensemble will need the proxy details configuring, and the proxy itself must permit the addresses listed above. Your IT team can confirm this. If you are unsure whether a connection problem is a firewall issue or a proxy issue, please contact Paritor Support and we will help you narrow it down.
If you need assistance in doing this, feel free to contact us and a member of the Paritor team will be happy to help.
