Teamcenter release supportSiemens PLM Software encourages customers to stay reasonably current withnew versions of Teamcenter products. This upgrade strategy ensures that usersobtain the most current announcements and information about new features in atimely manner. It also allows Siemens PLM Software support of its products tobe consistent with that of our dependent technology partners (that is, operatingsystems, databases, and embedded software products).

For a list of supported Teamcenter releases, search the Global Technical AccessCenter (GTAC) for the Product Support Periods document.

Teamcenter and compatible third-party software versionsThe Siemens PLM Software Certification Database(http://support.industrysoftware.automation.siemens.com/certification/teamcenter.shtml)documents the minimum version of operating systems, compilers, databases, clientbrowsers, and other third-party software with which this product iscompatible. Because Teamcenter releases are asynchronous with the release ofcompatible third-party software, Teamcenter customers can acquire andinstall a newer version of third-party software before Siemens PLMSoftware has the opportunity to certify it.

Siemens PLM Softwares standard policy with respect to new versions of operatingsystems, compilers, databases, client browsers, and other third-party software relieson the manufacturers guarantees. If the manufacturer guarantees that the newversion of its product is binary-compatible with the preceding version, SiemensPLM Software expects our products to function properly when running on the newversion. Our experience shows that virtually no problems are encountered whenexecuting Teamcenter with a third-party version later than the version on whichwe completed our certification testing.

Siemens PLM Software will make a reasonable effort to support Teamcenter runningon a later version and to work with you to resolve any difficulty that may arise but

will not, in most cases, complete the testing required to state Teamcenter software iscertified.

Teamcenter compatibility with operating systems and compilers involves thesetwo considerations:

Compatibility for run time.

Compatibility for relinking customizations and paths.

Typically, operating system manufacturers assure run time binary compatibilitybetween the successive versions of their operating systems. We make a reasonableeffort to support Teamcenter running on a later version of an operating system. Toa lesser degree, operating system manufacturers provide similar assurances whenrelinking or rebuilding executables and libraries with new versions of the compilers.In cases where compatibility does not exist between old and new compiler versions,all customization incorporated into the Teamcenter base product must be linkedusing the version of the compiler with which Teamcenter has been released. Thisalso applies to the installation of Teamcenter patches.

To summarize, Teamcenter may run on a newer version of an operating system, butcustomizations and patches may need to be compiled and linked on an earlier version.

For information about the lowest version of software with which this product runs,see the Siemens PLM Software Certification Database. Although Teamcenter mayrun using a lower level of software, keep in mind that we strongly discouragerunning at lower levels and that we do not provide support to anyone doing so.

Note If Siemens PLM Software discovers incompatible versions of third-partysoftware, we will post bulletins on GTAC. This information is also availablefrom your Teamcenter provider.
