Software compatibility across releases

Information about third party or client software is packaged, configured and tested for a specific software version release.

Version Overview

Content Manager is qualified on an English version of our supported operating systems only. Other languages of these operational systems are not used for quality check purposes.

The following table — available for informational purposes only — indicates:
  • The Content Manager client tools versions which should be used against a certain release of the server side components.
  • The Third Party software which is configured or integrated inside a certain release of the server side components.
  • The Third Party software such as operating systems, databases, and runtimes which we use to conduct quality assurance testing for the server side components.
Be aware that:
  • Exact versions indicate a version which we did regression testing; these are usually also available for download. Note that other versions may work but are not quality assured. If a problem is encountered we only accept the issue if it is reproducible on the listed versions.
  • The relation between the Content Manager client tools and the XML editors are not defined in this table. Installation packages are not always available for all XML editor versions.
  • For the most up-to-date information you should always verify the latest installation documentation. There are other requirements than the ones listed here.
  • The names, trademarks, designs, logos, service marks, intellectual property, etc., of the products shown are exclusive property of their respective owners.
Terminology used:
  • S: is short for Supported which means that the software was used, configured or integrated in the version.
  • -: means that there is no information available for this combination. Usually because one of them was not around yet during the mentioned era or because it is simply not a supported combination anymore.
  • D: is short for Deprecated which means the software was used/configured or integrated in the version; but you are strongly advised to not use this combination anymore.
