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.
The all-new core-installer is a .exe file which should be placed on either the host which is currently running BVQ or on the host which is supposed to run BVQ.
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.
The core-installer bundles the installers for each individual BVQ module into one installation package.
Common configuration parameters, such as DB access data, user and directories have default values which are recommended.
Our suggestion is to use a local Windows user, to set up the services with.

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 "?".
