256 MB of RAM (1GB or more recommended).
250 MB hard disk space for installation and 200 MB for using the product.
SVGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution monitor.
Mouse or other pointing device.
Note: AQtime Pro may consume a lot of memory to store profiler information. Therefore, when working with large projects, it is recommended that you allocate as much physical RAM as possible so that Windows does not use the swap file.
Operating System and Internet Explorer
Operating system:
Microsoft Windows 7 (either 32-, or 64-bit edition).
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (either 32-, or 64-bit edition).
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 is also supported.
Microsoft Windows Vista (either 32-, or 64-bit edition).
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (either 32-, or 64-bit edition).
Microsoft Windows XP (either 32-, or 64-bit edition).
Microsoft Windows 2000.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.
Important notes:
If you use a computer that has several processors or a multiple-core
processor (for example, dual-core CPU) and has Windows XP Service Pack 2, then you
must install the Windows update #896256 in order for AQtime to be able to
profile your application correctly. The update can be obtained in the following ways:
Installed as part of Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Installed via Windows Update.
To use AQtime Pro on Windows Server 2008 R2, the WoW64 component is required. The Server Core installation option for Windows Server 2008 R2 does not install WoW64 by default, so, you should install it yourself. This requirement concerns both AQtime Pro x86 and x64 packages.
Profiling .NET Applications
To profile .NET applications, Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 or 4.0 is required.
Profiling Java Code
To profile Java applications, you must have one of the following Java virtual machines installed on your computer:
Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) ver. 1.5 or 1.6.
Profiling Scripts
To profile VBScript and JScript functions, AQtime Pro requires the Windows Script and
Script Debugger components. Typically, these components are already installed on
your machine: the Windows Script component is supplied with the operating system
(since Windows 98) and the Script Debugger is shipped along with Visual Studio (since
version 2003) and Microsoft Office (versions XP and later).
If you have problems with script profiling, try reinstalling these components. You
can find standalone packages of these components at Microsoft Download Center (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads). Search for the following items:
Windows Script (Windows Script 5.6 or later is required)
Script Debugger
To profile script routines, you also need to specify certain user permissions and
prepare the host application in a certain way. See Profiling Scripts - Prerequisites
in AQtime Pro documentation.
User Account
To install and use AQtime Pro, you must have administrator permissions on your computer. AQtime Pro can be installed and used under different user accounts, but all of them must have administrator permissions.
Running Under Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008
To be used under Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, AQtime Pro must be launched under an account with administrator privileges.
AQtime Pro and Windows DDK
If you have Windows DDK installed, then after installing AQtime Pro:
Launch Driver Verifier (a tool from the Windows DDK package) and
Disable verification of the aqIPD7.sys driver (the aqIPD7.sys driver is part of AQtime Pro).
Driver Verifier blocks the AQtime Pro driver, so you need to disable verification for the AQtime Pro driver.
Integration into IDEs
AQtime Pro can be integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio and Embarcadero RAD Studio (and into earlier versions of RAD Studio by CodeGear and Borland):
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010,
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008,
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005,
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003,
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
Embarcadero RAD Studio XE (including localized versions),
Embarcadero RAD Studio 2010 (including localized versions).
CodeGear RAD Studio 2009,
CodeGear RAD Studio 2007.
Borland Developer Studio 2006, Update 2.
