Synergy/DE Supported Versions and Platforms

February 12, 2010

This table shows the Synergy/DE versions available for each system code and the operating system versions with which they were built.

Note: Gray shading indicates a retired platform or version; no future ports are planned.

Legend for the column headers below
Sysid The system code
Platform The platform on which this system code will run
Synergy/DE Versions The current version for each Synergy/DE component. Versions with a letter (for example, 9.1.5a) are patch versions. Download the latest patch version from the product download site. (ALM access required)
Operating System The operating system name and version with which these Synergy/DE products were built, and additional operating system versions on which these Synergy/DE products can run. Most operating system vendors support upward compatibility, so Synergy/DE should work on any version higher than the version on which it was built. If you encounter any issues using a higher version of the operating system, we will do our best to resolve them promptly.
Notes Additional information about these Synergy/DE products and operating system versions. (See Notes section at bottom)

B = Big endian 32-bit
B64 = Big endian 64-bit
L = Little endian 32-bit
L64 = Little endian 64-bit
U = Unique endian
NFR = No future releases on this platform.
NY2K = This platform combination will not run beyond the year 2000.

1 = Refer to your Installation Configuration Guide for specific operating system patches required.
2 = Only SCO UNIX will work with 003.
3 = SDE 5.7.9 is the minimum working version distributed for Digital Unix. 4.0. Versions prior to 6.3.1 do not work with Digital Unix 4.0c and onwards without the OBSOLETE425 patch installed.
