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

There are no functional differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The project file format is the same and can be edited in either the 32-bit or 64-bit version.

However, as is generally the case with Windows applications, there are the following performance differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions:

• The 32-bit version tends to consume less memory during operation compared to the 64-bit version.

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

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

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

(*1): RAM 8GB or more

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

This is approximately 40 times the size of the sample project: BasicSamples.Enterprise (7MB).

If the file size exceeds that limit, the 32-bit version may not be able to open the project file depending on your PC's operating system.

Caution

When migrating from the 32-bit version to the 64-bit version, please uninstall and then reinstall the application. The same applies when migrating from the 64-bit version to the 32-bit version.
