Every computer software consumes computer resources - it occupies some space on disk, it consumes CPU and RAM when it is running. Database connections, reading and query execution may produce database workload and consume network bandwidth. It may be important to know about this stuff, in order to understand what kind of resource consumption is expected.
All possible internet consumption is described in detail in the Our online services section.
You may choose to connect to the database located on the network. Database operations are performed each time you read objects, merge objects, compare data, synchronize data, refresh objects or data.
When you install an application, its binary files are extracted to the folder specified during installation (defaults to "c:\Program Files (x86)\AccdbMerge" for per-machine installation). Application is pretty compact, binary files do not take more than 10 megabytes
In addition to Program Files, application uses the following folders and files:
All database object definitions and object definition diff results are stored in RAM (in the future it is going to be cached on the disk). Data for all tabs (diff results, object lists, etc) is also located in RAM.
For large amount of heavy forms and reports it can be a pretty big amount of memory for x86 application and if you're facing with 'Out of memory' error during objects processing, you need to switch on the 'Enable compression' option on the Text Diff tab of the Settings dialog (available only for Pro).
