The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The main program executable is nero11disccopygadget-11.0.00400.exe. The software installer includes 118 files and is usually about 1.49 MB (1,565,571 bytes).

In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows 10. While about 33% of users of Nero Prerequisite Installer come from Germany, it is also popular in the United States and United Kingdom.
