2.2 System Requirements

LED Wizard 8 has certain system requirements for installation and operation.

64 bit Operating System

LED Wizard 8 requires a 64-bit operating system, including Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. The software is 64-bit only starting with LED Wizard 8 and will not run on 32-bit Windows editions.

Network Access

You must be online when you are launching and running LED Wizard 8. Each launch will log in to our server to check your license and download any recent updates from the LED database.

Memory

It is recommended that your computer have 16GB of RAM memory to run the software most efficiently.

Cores

The minimum recommended number of CPU cores is 2. LED Wizard 8 currently doesn't make use of multiple cores, but may in future updates, so a 4 core system or better is a good future proof option.

Disk Space

The download for LED WIzard 8 is about 160MB, but you should have a comfortable amount of free hard drive disk space at all times to operate the software.
