By default, On Premise installations of HoudiniEsq are configured to only use 1GB of RAM at a maximum. This is to keep the overall footprint of the application as light as possible.

In certain circumstances, however, you will need to expand this memory limit. This is mainly contingent on the number of Staff you have logged in concurrently, and their activity in the system. Current activities such as generating documents or doing global searches, will require more memory to perform.
