System Requirements

Supported operating systems

 

Please note, that system requirements here are refering to Workstation product, i.e. the one with User Interface, necessary for visualizing the results of the analysis.

​

The analysis itself, which is performed by the java agent component, requires only that bytecode is run by a JVM.

 

The User interface includes native code component and UI will successfully run on the following:

​

  • Windows: XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012,  32 bits, 64 bits

  • Linux: Red Hat, CentOS, Ubuntu, Suse, 32 bits, 64 bits

  • Macintosh: OS X  64bits

  • Recommended JRE is 1.8

​

The Agent will work with Java 1.6 and above.
