Hi, On Windows, you can set Protege by going into the Protege File->Preferences and then into Property Files and then into the LAX properties tab. In there, find the lax.nl.java.option.heap.size.max property and increase this to around 1024MB (max 1500 on 32-bit Windows) or more, e.g. 1024000000. Cl...

Hi Victor,
Unfortunately, Essential does not support this level of permissions.
This is a limitation of the underlying Protege toolset which only offers coarse grained admin / write / read permission types at a Repository level.
