Introduction
Our customers are notified by mail about each new BVQ version, this includes a download link to the newest BVQ.
BVQ updates and first-time installations follow the same workflow.

Information about the requirements are placed here and before installing BVQ for the first time we strongly recommend to read also the preparations article out of the Getting Started Guide.

Memory usage limit (MiB)
Is equal to the maximum heap size of the Java environment.
Recommendation:
The default value should suffice, if you notice that the program slows down over a period of time,
increase this value to prevent poor performance and application failures.
A memory utilization gauge is available on the BVQ GUI main menu below "?".
