Analysis Memory Limits
Sonnet Lite is limited to the size of the circuit it can analyze. Larger, more complex circuits require more memory to analyze. Sonnet Lite is limited to 1 MB when it is first installed, but you may increase that limit to 16 MB by registering. Registration is free; we ask only that you identify yourself when you register. Any information you provide to us will not be provided to anyone outside of Sonnet Software and your area's Sonnet sales/support representative.

Periodically, you will be asked to re-register your software. This process automatically includes usage statistics which help Sonnet Software make improvements to the software. Re-registration is free.
