Distributed analysis mode allows you to use a computer other than your local (e.g., desktop) computer to do the memory-intensive work for you. Since remote servers used for distributed analysis are typically more powerful and faster than your local computer, appropriate use of distributed analysis mode can significantly reduce computer processing time.

Distributed analysis is only available if you have both a local version and access to a licensed server version of the software installed on a remote server. Contact your network administrator to determine if you have access to a server version.
