System Requirements for ReliaSoft Desktop Applications
The system requirements for all ReliaSoft desktop applications are presented below. In addition, we provide an automated tool that determines whether your computer and Internet connection meet the requirements for running and activating these applications. It will also determine whether you could install the 64-bit version of the applications, if desired. [Download Requirements and Compatibility Test Tool...]

IMPORTANT NOTE: 32-bit and 64-bit Versions | |
You can choose which version of the ReliaSoft desktop applications to install if you have a 64-bit version of Windows and any version of Microsoft Office except Office 2010 (32-bit). When the installation program gives you a choice, the decision should be based on the capabilities of your computer (processor and RAM) and how you plan to use the software. [See our 32-bit vs. 64-bit FAQ...] |

Note: Upgrading your operating system after your ReliaSoft software has already been installed can cause issues with the applications' activation. To prevent this, it is recommended to uninstall the ReliaSoft desktop applications suite prior to upgrading your operating system and then reinstall it after the upgrade. For other options, and for information about how to handle the "activated license is corrupt" message that may appear if you upgrade your operating system with live activations, please refer to http://www.reliasoft.com/windows10-reactivation.
A Note About Enterprise Database Servers
Although the enterprise database platform (Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle) could be installed on the same computer where the ReliaSoft applications reside, most organizations will choose to set up a separate server to host the database. Both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the applications will work with either the 32-bit or 64-bit versions of a back-end database/server. The minimum hardware/software requirements for each server hosting the database should be obtained directly from the selected database vendor (i.e., Microsoft or Oracle). In general, we recommend a minimum CPU speed of 2 GHz and 4 GB of RAM.
