Operating System
We suggest you to use Microsoft® Windows® 11
Professional 64 bits edition with the last service packs. Each
new release of the software is tested with the newest
available operating system only. Because of security reasons,
we do not test the software with discontinued operating
systems
However, this software may be also compatible with
Microsoft® Windows® 10 (Home Premium or superior) 64
bits edition
Operating system must be correctly installed, updated and
running properly with all its available service packs.
Note about Mac (Apple) Operating Systems
According with some reports from users, this software
(keyless and subscription version) could be successfully
installed and it is working properly on some Apple
computers (Windows on Virtual Machines).
We do not offer, we do not warranty, and we do not support
this software running on a Mac; as we didn't test that
enough to suggest it. You can try it at your own risk.
Internet
For software products:
The connection to internet of the computer where the
software is installed is not a requirement to run the software,
but it is highly recommended. However, a permanent
internet connection is required to install and use a product in
a virtual machine.
Through the internet connection, your software will present
the Live-Update service, direct communication to the service
& software support sites, in-app purchase of extra features,
on-line promotions, etc.
The software registration/activation process requires an e-
mail account and the use of any other computer with
internet access to transfer files between your system
(installed product) and our activation server.
Time to time, a license validation is required. The process is
automatic and transparent if the computer where you use
the product is connected to internet; if internet is not
available, you will need to use any other computer with
internet access to transfer files between your system
(installed product) and our activation server.
For software subscriptions:
A high speed permanent Internet connection is absolutely
necessary in order to run software subscriptions.
The software registration/activation process requires an e-
mail account to complete the license activation.
Computer
The computer must meet a series of minimum characteristics
in order to run the software.
We suggest you to consider substantially exceeding the
minimum required characteristics for a reasonable or much
better software performance. A higher processor, more
memory, a better video resolution or 2 monitors will improve
the user experience
Computer must be x64-based processor Intel or AMD
