Automation Studio 6 crashing

Good day,

Just wanted to find out something, I’m currently running AS6 on a VM and i noticed that it is abit slow and sometimes crashes.

I am using Windows 10 with 8GB of ram. with a 8 core CPU. Is this sufficient or is the machine crashing because of the Windows versions?

Kind regards

Hi,

the slow performance could have to do with the 8 GB memory that you have. Are the 8 GB for the VM or this your total memory? What version of AS6 are you using?

Hi Stephan, its for the VM. I am also using a demo license not sure if it could be that as well?

Hi Hashmith,
the demo license does not impact performance or stability. Make sure you use the latest version 6.3.4. from here

A little bit more RAM would be nice but it should not impact stability. Sounds like your issues are randomly. See if you can find a pattern when the crashes happen then we can take a look at it.

Some other tips:

Are the projects in a shared folder with VM or copied to the VM environment ?

Is there a virus scanner active in the VM?

If so is it possible to define exclude folders in this virus scanner, also for the projects.

For instance:
