| Internet | Qinertia uses internet to download automatically GNSS ephemeris data, GNSS base stations, etc. Internet is also used for Qinertia floating licenses system as the software automatically fetch and release your licenses when you use it. However, Qinertia can also be used offline in what we call the node locked. Please refer to How to use Qinertia offline for more information. | |
| Virtual Machines | Even if SBG Systems doesn't test specifically Qinertia on virtual machines, it should run perfectly well. However, for obvisous security reasons, it is NOT possible to run Qinertia on a VM if you are using the offline node locked licensing mode. | |
SSD vs HDD
Qinertia has to manipulate very large quantities of data. All the data can't fit in system memory so Qinertia uses your hard drive to store temporaries processing data. The processing speed is thus affected by the speed of your hard drive. SBG Systems strongly recommend the software and your operating system are installed on a fast SSD disk for optimal experience and to reduce processing time.
