** - Following are known issues for Windows 7 Professional, Windows Vista Business and Windows 2008 Server

  • Some operations of the FLEXnet license manager require running with Administrator privileges
  • For information on configuring a SEE station to support the Microsoft Office application framework, please refer to Knowledge Base item QA00000024152

These limitations are due to the additional security features of Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server.

Platforms are categorized as:

  • Qualified – A Qualified Platform is a Platform that has undergone the most extensive testing. Dassault Systèmes offers full support for Dassault Systèmes products on the Qualified Platform environment and will address Platform specific issues. For each Qualified Platform there will be a lab machine configured and capable of running Dassault Systèmes software. Each Qualified Platform is tested on the Version, Release and Maintenance Deliveries it is documented in.
  • Validated – A Validated Platform has had basic installation testing performed along with a core set of functional tests that are designed to ensure that the basic functionality of the product is working. Dassault Systèmes offers full support for Dassault Systèmes products for Validated Platforms and will address Platform specific issues. Validated Platforms are not necessarily available in Dassault Systèmes lab.
  • Compatible - A Compatible Platform or Configuration has passed minimal or no testing at any level by Dassault Systèmes and the environment is most likely not available as a configured environment in Dassault Systèmes lab. However, relying upon Platform vendor upward compatibility rules or support policy, there is no known technical reason why Dassault Systèmes products will not work on a Compatible Platform Configuration. Dassault Systèmes makes no guarantees with regard to resolving issues that are Platform specific on Compatible Platforms.
  • Incompatible – A Platform is Incompatible if it has been confirmed that our products will not operate on it.
  • Withdrawn – A Withdrawn Platform is a Platform, formerly Certified, Qualified, Validated or Compatible for which Dassault Systèmes no longer provides support for its software. Withdrawn Platforms reached their end-of-life and will soon be removed from the supported platform matrix available in the Dassault Systèmes software Program Directory or on Dassault Systèmes web site.
  • Not Listed - If a Platform is not listed, by default, no information is available and no consideration has been given as to whether it will or will not work. Dassault Systèmes will not attempt to install, configure or resolve problems stemming from attempted installations.
