Questions and Answers

Which versions of Windows are supported?

Windows 11 and Windows 10 are supported. No testing has been performed on Windows 7. While Windows 10 is supported in the current release, it should be considered deprecated as a future release might drop support.

Is SoloDesk free software?

SoloDesk is partially free and partially paid. It requires a paid activation code to run the generator for audio, video and 3D outputs. The image generator, mask editor and model downloader do not require an activation code.

Does the SoloDesk license require a subscription that has to be updated or is it a perpetual license?

The SoloDesk license is a perpetual license. Future versions might require their own perpetual license. If you purchased a license for 25.8.29.1 it will always be good for any future 25.x.x.x, but not necessarily for any 26.x.x.x.

Does the SoloDesk license have to be activated over the internet?

No. The SoloDesk license is activated by entering the activation code into a dialog window within the app itself.

What is the future roadmap for SoloDesk AI?

AI is a rapidly evolving landscape and is difficult to predict. Users will have to stay updated for the latest breaking developments.

The download for SoloDesk is nearly 2 gigabytes! Since it includes no AI models the size of the download seems excessive. Why all the bloat?

SoloDesk itself is quite a lean application. It is the third party libraries, specifically the ones pertaining to Nvidia, that take up all of the space. Requiring the user to obtain these on their own would require some measure of expertise that could detract from the original mission of user friendliness.

Does SoloDesk use any Python virtual environments?

While the app does make use of Python, it does not use virtual environments (it uses direct path management instead). The underlying mechanism of virtual environments requires manipulation of operating system environment variables through invasive and risky procedures. LogitWorx will not subject the user’s machine to such risks. It is the opinion of LogitWorxs that Microsoft should have deprecated environment variables decades ago such that this calamity known as the ”virtual environment” could have been averted.

What is the procedure to uninstall SoloDesk?

To uninstall, first locate SoloDesk in the Windows Control Panel Programs and Features. Then, uninstall from there. It will also be necessary to delete the remaining SoloDesk folders in the “Program Files” and “ProgramData” directories.
