Support for Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.3 has been sunsetted with the release of VersaLex 3.6. Customers can continue to run with their current version of LexiCom/VLTrader/VLProxy and JRE 1.3 after this time, but will be required to upgrade to JRE 1.4 (Linux, Unix) or JRE 1.5 (Windows) as part of any Cleo support request. Cleo bundles the JRE in its installer and product, so upgrading the VersaLex JRE will not affect other products installed on the same computer.

Notes

  • It may be necessary to upgrade to the current version of LexiCom to run on the listed Operating Systems.
  • Although LexiCom may successfully install and run on other Unix versions not listed above, the behavior in these environments cannot be predicted. Therefore, Cleo cannot officially support other platforms than those listed.
  • If you wish to operate LexiCom on a platform outside this list, contact Cleo Sales for a consulting services quote.

Other Requirements

  • On Windows, display properties must set for more than 16 colors.
  • On Windows, LexiCom can be installed as a Windows service. However, by default, Windows services run under a local system account and do not see mapped network drives. If you must access a network drive through LexiCom, then you will have to use full network path names (UNC paths) instead of mapped network drives. Also, the network share permissions should be reviewed.
  • Java Requirements
  • Protocol-based Requirements
  • VLProxy System Requirements (Optional Add-on Feature)

Browser Requirements for Web-Based GUI (Optional Add-on Feature)

  • Internet Explorer version 5 or above and Netscape version 7 or above (latest versions are recommended)
