# Application Virtualization Sequencer Hardware and Software Requirements
This topic describes the minimum recommended hardware and software requirements for the computer running the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Sequencer.
**Important**  
You must run the App-V sequencer (**SFTSequencer.exe**) using an account that has administrator privileges because of the changes the sequencer makes to the local system. These changes can include writing files to the **C:\\Program Files** directory, making registry changes, starting and stopping services, updating security descriptors for files, and changing permissions.
 
Before you install the Sequencer and after you sequence each application, you must restore a clean operating system image to the sequencing computer. You can use one of the following methods to restore the computer running the Sequencer:
- Reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system.
- Restore the hard drive on the computer running the Sequencer image by using another disk-imaging software.
- Revert a virtual operating system image such as a Microsoft Virtual PC image. Using a virtual machine allows for clean sequencing environments to be easily reused with minimal administration.
The following list outlines the recommended hardware requirements for running the App-V Sequencer.
The requirements are listed first for Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) 4.6 SP2, followed by the requirements for versions that preceded App-V 4.6 SP2.
### <a href="" id="hardware-requirements-"></a>Hardware Requirements
- Processor—Intel Pentium III, 1 GHz (32-bit or 64-bit). The sequencing process is a single-threaded process and does not take advantage of dual processors.
- Memory—1 GB or above, 2 GB recommended.
- Hard disk—40 gigabyte (GB) hard disk space with a minimum of 15 GB available hard disk space. We recommend that you have at least three times the hard disk space that the application you are sequencing requires.
**Note**  
Sequencing requires heavy disk usage. A fast disk speed can decrease the sequencing time.
 
### Software Requirements for App-V 4.6 SP2
The following list outlines the supported operating systems for running the App-V 4.6 SP2 Sequencer.

**Note**  
The Application Virtualization (App-V) 4.6 SP2 Sequencer supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these operating systems.
 
You should configure computers running the Sequencer with the same applications that are installed on targeted computers.
