Synopsys tests and supports specific versions of each operating system. These are the operating system versions that Synopsys performs extensive testing on and fully support. Operating system vendors guarantee that applications compiled on a lower minor version of an operating system will be binary compatible with higher minor versions of the same operating system. This means that an application supported on OS version X.Y should run on OS version X.Y+Z. For example, a program supported on RHEL 5.0 should run on RHEL 5.4. While Synopsys can only guarantee the versions we support, customers can rely on the OS vendor's claim when running higher minor versions. OS vendor claims may not apply across major versions; therefore a program that supports RHEL 5.0 may not be compatible with RHEL 6.0 unless directly specified.
