256MB of RAM (1GB or more recommended).

250MB hard disk space for installation and 200MB for using the product.

SVGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution monitor.

Mouse or other pointing device.

Note: AQtime 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:

Profiling of .NET applications requires Microsoft Windows 7 (both 32- and 64-bit editions), Windows Vista (either 32-, or 64-bit edition), Windows XP (either 32-, or 64-bit edition), Windows Server 2003 (either 32-, or 64-bit edition), Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 with the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5.

Profiling of native-code (non-.NET) applications requires Microsoft Windows 7 (both 32- and 64-bit editions), Windows Vista (either 32-, or 64-bit edition), Windows XP (either 32-, or 64-bit edition), Windows Server 2003 (either 32-, or 64-bit edition), Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 6.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.

Important: 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 is available on Microsoft’s web site:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896256

Profiling Scripts

To profile VBScript and JScript functions, AQtime 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 documentation.

User Account

To install and use AQtime, you must have administrator permissions on your computer. AQtime can be installed and used under different user accounts, but all of them must have administrator permissions.

Running Under Windows Vista

To be used under Windows Vista, AQtime must be launched under an account with administrator privileges.

AQtime and Windows DDK

If you have Windows DDK installed, then after installing AQtime:

Launch Driver Verifier (a tool from the Windows DDK package) and

Disable verification of the aqIPD.sys driver (the aqIPD.sys driver is part of AQtime).

Driver Verifier blocks the AQtime driver, so you need to disable verification for the AQtime driver.

Integration into IDEs

AQtime can be integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio, Borland Developer Studio or CodeGear RAD Studio:

AQtime can be integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.

AQtime can be integrated into Borland Developer Studio 2006.
Integration will be possible only if Borland Developer Studio 2006 Update 2 is installed on your computer. Integration into localized (non-Elnglish) versions is currently not supported.

AQtime can be integrated into CodeGear RAD Studio 2007 and 2009.
