Use the tables in this section to determine compatibility among the following Novell® GroupWise® versions:
IMPORTANT: GroupWise 5.x versions have entered the end-of-life phase and are no longer supported. For update instructions, see Updating Your GroupWise 5.x System to Version 6.5. The GroupWise 5.x administration tool, NetWare® Administrator with GroupWise snap-ins, cannot be used to administer GroupWise 6.x systems.
For each GroupWise version, the tables indicate compatibility for:
Administrative components: Domain and post office database platforms and versions, eDirectoryTM platforms, and GroupWise snap-in to ConsoleOne® platforms and versions
Agents: Domain and post office database platforms and versions, agent platforms and versions
Clients: Post office directory platforms and access, POA platforms and versions, client modes
In the compatibility tables, cells that combinations that are not applicable are marked N/A. For example, the POA never needs to communicates with the Internet Agent, so that table cell is N/A.
For information about what operating system versions are supported for GroupWise 6.5 on NetWare, Linux, and Windows, refer to GroupWise System Requirements. For information about what operating system versions are supported for GroupWise 6, refer to the GroupWise 6 Installation Guide.
