Installation Instructions for EASE 5 
1. Verifying System Requirements 
The following hardware and software are required: 
 64-bit operating system 
 Windows 7 (or higher) or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (or higher) 
 Graphics cards and video drivers compatible with DirectX 11 Feature Level 10 or higher. 
If in doubt, the DirectX version and the Feature Level can be checked using the directx 
diagnostic tool. To open the tool press the Windows key and enter “dxdiag” into the 
search box on the taskbar.
Note: Parallels for Mac has not incorporated DirectX 11 compatibility. 
In case all preconditions are fulfilled but there are display problems in the software an update to 
the latest graphic card driver will most likely solve the problem. For remote desktop connections 
this update must be installed on the server.
