What kind of computer should be configured to install the AspenPlus software? Is 1.6 GHz Celeron with 512 MB of RAM sufficient?
Which version do you want to install? The installation files extracted from Aspen06.5 are 6 GB in size. . . I’m not too sure about v7; you can try installing 11.1 – it’s likely to be smaller in size. However, don’t install it on the C drive; one of my colleagues did that and his computer became extremely slow. . .
At the training course, I saw that old Toshiba laptops with 256 MB of memory could run version 2006, and it worked fine. It should be fine to store it in 2006; it would be better to put it on another drive.
The 2006 version of Aspen, with only the Plus package installed, takes up less than 2G in total.
Remember: Do not install it on the system drive; I installed it on drive D. (Apart from the operating system, hardware drivers, and Office, I install all other applications on drive D, which makes it easier to restore things if the system fails.) The performance is quite good.
