Minimum Hardware Requirements 
Computer
  • You can use any hardware provided with current drivers for the installed operating system.
  • Please note, that for example the graphics drivers supports the complete open-GL command set.
  • DVD drive
Processor (CPU)Pentium 4-compliance with SSE2 support
Main memory

4 GB RAM 
To achieve optimal performance for large assemblies, the system should possess significantly more main memory than is considered sufficient for HiCAD at first glance.
This enables the hard disk accessing operations Buffer memory, Undo and Switch drawing to be performed up to 4 times faster

Attention

  • Internet access is required on the computers or servers on which the licenses are managed!
  • If you have a 64 Bit version of HiCAD/HELiOS, the hardlock can no longer be used as license file selector due to missing driver support!
  • If you use the Windows Firewall, exceptions for certain ports may be required to enable the utilisation of the Hardlock Server or the Softlock Server License. Click here to read what steps are required for this.
  • If network licences are used, the following operating systems can be used for the licence server: Windows Server 2008 und Windows Server 2012.
  • Appropriate database system for HELiOS utilisation:
    HiCAD/HELiOS 2014, 2013 and 2012: Microsoft SQL-Server 2000 / 2005 / 2008 /2012 or Oracle Database Server 10g / 11g R2
    HiCAD/HELiOS 2011 und 2010: Microsoft SQL-Server 2000 / 2005 / 2008 or Oracle Database Server 10g / 11g R2
