1GB RAM for Lycia Web Application Server (Jetty)
1.5GB RAM for LyciaStudio
optional memory for BIRT and Report Engine – please, check the requirements for corresponding tools
memory required for creating forms in Lycia Form Designer – are calculated by this rough formula:

number of open forms x 50Mb

For example,

10 open forms will make 10 x 50Mb = 500Mb RAM

number of running programs (processes) x 30Mb

For example,

50 Users (each running an application process) will make 50 x 30Mb = 1.5GB RAM
