Before starting the installation process, check that your system meets all necessary requirements as listed at: www.comsol.com/system-requirements. For COMSOL, all requirements need to be met. If you are running the license manager on a license server where you did not intend to run COMSOL, the system requirements are less stringent. The license server only needs to meet the listed hardware and operating system requirements. For the license manager, memory and graphics requirements do not need to be met. The license manager is a much less CPU- and memory-demanding application than COMSOL.
