Explanation of column titles:

Platform

The original hardware vendor and platform type. In case another vendor offers binary compatible machines which can be run with the OS of the original hardware vendor, it is likely that HELIOS products can also be used on that machines. However, a test should be conducted in any case.

Arch

The architecture string under which HELIOS products are listed for this hardware.

The operating system required for the specific platform.

Comments

Any comments related to HELIOS support for a specific OS version or platform.

Deprecated platforms

Though the following platforms are still supported by CD022, the support is not continued in future HELIOS software versions. We recommend to switch to one of the platforms stated above.
