New Product Configuration Keys and New SlickEdit Key

Synergy/DE 9.1.3’s Professional Series Workbench requires a new SlickEdit key. If you have not already received your new key, please contact our Customer Service team. If you are upgrading to version 9 for the first time, you will also need new product configuration keys. To obtain keys keys for a license that includes Workbench, e-mail your registration information to productkeys@synergex.com. To get your registration information,

-- On Windows, using the Synergy Configuration program,

1. From the Licensing tab, click the Print Registration Information button.

2. Complete the fields and click the Print button.

3. Save it to a file, and send us that file.

-- On Unix, send the “register.lm” file located in the synergyde/lm directory.

(See the Installation Configuration Guide for additional information about obtaining this registration information.)

To obtain keys for a license that does not include Workbench, you can send your registration information as instructed above, or you can use our Online Services. If your licenses are on Annual License Maintenance (ALM), simply contact our Customer Service team to get set up. If you do not have ALM, please contact your Synergy/DE account manager to order your upgrade.

Installation Requirements

	(Windows) The installation can upgrade Synergy/DE version 7.3.1 or higher versions.
	(Windows) The installations now enforce operating system minimums. The following Service Pack levels are enforced: Windows 2000 SP 4 Windows XP SP 2 Windows 2003 SP 1

Runtime Compatibility (Compilation Requirements)

We recommend that you rebuild your Synergy applications with version 9.1.3 to benefit from all the new features and fixes. If you choose not to rebuild, your application should still work fine with the 9.1.3 runtime, with the following exceptions:

	If your Synergy applications were built with Synergy/DE 5.7.9 or an earlier version, you must recompile them.
	If your Synergy applications use DDLIB (an executable library that contains routines that access the Synergy Repository), and they are built with a Synergy/DE version prior to 7.1, you must recompile them.
	In order to debug your code with Synergy/DE 9, you will need to recompile.

Server Compatibilities

We recommend that you update all Synergy/DE products to version 9.1.3. If you choose to update your server(s) only, refer to this chart for the minimum client versions supported with Synergy/DE 9.1.3 servers:

Third-Party Products
Synergy/DE interfaces or integrates with a number of third-party products. Synergex supports these interfaces and integration points but does not support the third-party products themselves. We strongly encourage you to maintain support contracts for any third-party products that are important to your solutions. The chart below specifies the versions of these third-party products that we expect to work successfully with Synergy/DE. A * in the version column indicates that the latest Synergy/DE version requires a new minimum version of the corresponding product.
