In addition, consider the following points while choosing software for Adobe LiveCycle deployments:

  • LiveCycle supports updates, patches, and fix packs on top of the specified major and minor version of supported software. However, update to the next major or minor version is not supported unless specified.
  • LiveCycle supports various third-party software as per our Third-party software support Policy.
  • LiveCycle supports platforms as per the support provided by third-party vendors. Some combinations may not be allowed by third-party vendors. For example, many vendors have not certified their application servers with IBM® DB2 9.8, and Oracle WebLogic 12c is not supported with Oracle Solaris 10 update 8 and below. As a result, LiveCycle also doesn’t support these combinations. To ensure that you choose the supported software versions, check the support matrix for the third-party vendors as well.

Note:

All operating systems are supported on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, except Microsoft® Windows® XP, which is supported only on 32-bit architecture.

The third-party software requirements for all versions of Adobe LiveCycle are documented in the “System Requirements” section of their respective product documents. All documentation for currently supported LiveCycle versions can be accessed from http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle.html. For versions 8.x and later, review the Preparing to Install LiveCycle document for your LiveCycle version.

Adobe LiveCycle’s third-party reference platforms state the specific patch level of third-party infrastructure that was current during the development and release of each version of LiveCycle, and from the minimum patch/service pack level of the infrastructure supported by that version of LiveCycle.

Adobe supports urgent or recommended patches issued by third-party vendors upon their release assuming that third-party vendors guarantee backward compatibility with the versions that Adobe LiveCycle supports. Adobe will only support patches released after the minimum patch level stated in the LiveCycle documentation.

In some cases, Adobe does not support third-party updates that change major functionality, and thus do not support full backward compatibility. For details on the supported updates, see Supported patch definitions for specific vendor products and the patch types Adobe supports.

Under circumstances beyond Adobe’s control, third-party patches that claim backward compatibility may have negative impact on the Adobe products or customer environments. In such cases, Adobe recommends that customers assess the impact of any urgent patch from a third party before applying them to critical systems. Adobe will work with third parties using reasonable business efforts to resolve such issues, either through normal Adobe support programs or by third parties rectifying the issue in their patch. This does not guarantee that a newly released third-party patch that will be supported by Adobe will work as documented by the vendor or with LiveCycle.

Adobe reserves the right to change the third-party reference platforms supported by a LiveCycle release and their supported patch definitions at any given point.

Additional information for third-party patches can also be found by searching the Adobe Enterprise Support site for knowledgebase articles related to your product.
