Which version should I use, 32-bit or 64-bit?

There is no difference in functionality between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

The project file format is the same, and you can edit in either the 32-bit or 64-bit version.

The following are the performance differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions, which are a general trend for Windows applications.

• The 32-bit version tends to consume less memory when running than the 64-bit version.

Therefore, it is suitable for use on PCs with low memory capacity.

• The 64-bit version can utilize large amounts of memory.

Therefore, even on PCs with large amounts of memory (*1), you can handle large projects (*2) that cannot be handled by the 32-bit version.

(*1): RAM 8GB or more

(*2): Project file size of 300 MB is a rough guideline.

This is about 40 times the size of the sample project: BasicSamples.Enterprise (7MB). If the size exceeds that limit, the project file may not be able to be opened in the 32-bit version depending on the operating conditions of the PC.

Caution

If you are migrating from the 32-bit version to the 64-bit version, uninstall the installed application and then reinstall it. The same applies when migrating from the 64-bit version to the 32-bit version.
