Technical Requirements
Windows XP or Vista
1.6 GHz or faster x86 CPU 384 MB of RAM (512MB RAM on Vista), 1GB of RAM is required if using QSeq 230 MB of available hard-disk space, 730 MB if normalizing data*, 10 GB if using QSeq Internet access (required to install, recommended for NetAffx usage)
RAM requirements vary depending on the volume of data being analyzed. In order to optimize performance for large assemblies, especially data sets generated using Illumina, ABI SOLiD and Roche 454 Life Sciences technologies, and for large QSeq projects, we recommend:
4 GB RAM (Additional RAM may be useful to speed up large projects) 10 GB available hard disk space, 50 GB if using QSeq 2.19 GHz processor speed For large data sets, it is further recommended that an external hard drive with 500 GB or more of available space be used.
* An additional 280 MB is required on Windows XP if .NET 2.0 is not previously installed.

Lasergene Network License Server (network version of Lasergene 8.1)
The DNASTAR Network License Server requires either a Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, 2003 Server or 2008 Server computer or a Macintosh OS 10.4 or 10.5 (Intel or Power PC), or 10.6 computer. An internet connection must be available to authorize the software. The server computer must have a static IP address which is manually configured in the TCP/IP setting for the network connection in use. Setting the DHCP to automatically renew the same IP address will not allow the server to run properly. The server process, called lservnt (Windows) or lserv (Macintosh) uses approximately 5 MB of available RAM and 10 MB of hard disc space.
