Installing Polybench
Overview
Requirements
- The installation CD of Polybench Suite or a download version of the installer
- A valid license key (.plic file, see also "License activation wizard") that your distributor provides you
- A measurement instrument that is supported by this installation of Polybench Suite
- A modern computer with the Windows 10 operating system. Polybench will also still work on Windows XP (SP3) 32-bit, Windows 7 32-bit, Windows 7 64-bit, or Windows 8.x.
- Please note that this version of Polybench uses the .NET 3.5 platform. On Windows 10 this is not always available. In many setups it can be activated as a feature (search for features in the Windows search field).
Please note:
- This version of Polybench is not for clinical use
- Your license is activated during or after the installation. If your license is not activated, Polybench or any Polybench runtime will not run. A license is bound to one computer, unless your license allows for multiple activations. The license is valid for all users (accept the Guest account) on that computer.
- You cannot run Polybench from a network disk (as is the case for most other software).
- The larger your application, or the more data your application needs to process, the more resources are used from your computer. If your computer becomes sluggish during data processing, then either you process too much data per time, or your computer is too light-weight.
- Some medical devices that you want to use with the software require your computer to be a Medical PC.
