The Windows system requirements are:
- A supported version of Linux. For a list of supported versions of Linux, see the "Supported Platforms" document available at https://support.precisely.com.
- 1 GHz processor (2 GHz processor or faster recommended for better performance)
- To determine the required disk capacity, multiply the size of the largest file to be processed by at least 2, 3, or 4. Add 30 GB to that total. Each file to be processed must be contained in one logical partition. 10,000 RPM or faster drives are recommended for better performance. Note that the amount of hard disk space required also depends on the type of output required. For example, if you include the input data in the output file, more space is required than if you do not.
You will need approximately 20 GB for USPS data. 40 GB (20 GB for production data plus 20 GB for decompressing USPS data updates) is recommended.

| Database | Additional Space Required |
|---|---|
| Addressing databases (zip4us.dir and city.dir) | Approximately 1.1 GB |
