Designer and the Connect database need 1GB each, that each Merge engine needs 1GB
and the Weaver engine needs 1GB as well, you can roughly estimate how much memory
is needed.
l
Consider using hardware with more physical cores. PrintShop Mail Connect doesn't limit
the number of Merge engines that is used for a print job, so if the number of physical cores
is low, it makes sense to see if that can be increased. When running on a virtual machine,
this is usually easy. When running on a physical machine, it means that you may have to
switch hardware. Make sure to address all issues mentioned in this topic before deciding
that you need to invest.

Directories and folders
Main installation folder
All Connect applications are installed under an arbitrarily selectable main folder. We will refer
to it as the "Installation Target" hereafter. The installation target will hold the executables and
files and sub-folders required for the operation of the whole product suite. All these files and
folders are static after installation.
It depends upon the company virus protection strategy, if such files and folders are to be
monitored or not. Running virus protection on these files and folders should not have a big - if
even any - impact on the performance of the Connect suite.
With some exceptions, which are listed below.
Connect Service
The Connect Service is run via the executable file Service.exe. This file has been reported as
causing issues with some antivirus packages, so we recommend adding this file to the antivirus
