Alibre Design Software Requirements
Supported Operating Systems
Windows 7 – 64 bit
Windows 8 – 64 bit
Windows 10 – 64 bit
RAM
4 GB RAM minimum
8-16 GB RAM recommended, depending on OS
Note: RAM requirements are dependent on the complexity of your design, what OS you use, what other programs you have running, and whether your RAM is shared with the graphics card. Simple designs can be created with little RAM, but you should not interpret that the minimum of 4GB of installed RAM is sufficient for any design you may make.
Video Card
Video card must be compatible with DirectX 9
Internet Access
Required for activation / deactivation of:
– Node Locked licenses
– Concurrent Licenses
Required at program startup for Concurrent Licenses
Occassionaly required at program start for Node Locked licenses
Suggestions
– Faster cores are more beneficial to Alibre Design than multiple, slower cores
– Larger assemblies (e.g. 100s of parts) will require more RAM
– An SSD will significantly speed up load and save times
