Licensing: Ubuntu and SUSE with 2017.1 and later

Compatibility, Platforms, Ubuntu (Platforms), InterSystems Official (Platforms)

Starting with 2017.1, InterSystems is adding Ubuntu (64-bit) as a third linux server platform. Prior to 2017.1 Ubuntu was already available as a development platform and customers could use InterSystems distributions build for SUSE to run on Ubuntu. As a result there are a few license key implications for 64-bit linux versions starting with Caché and Ensemble 2017.1:

a) Customers using RedHat will observe no changes

b) Customers using InterSystems products⁽¹⁾ for SUSE on SUSE will need new license keys (no charge)

Microsoft Windows Server (Platforms), Platforms (Platforms), InterSystems Official (Platforms)

InterSystems is currently verifying InterSystems IRIS 2019.1 with Windows Server 2019. This work is scheduled to complete by the end of January 2019. In the second half of this month InterSystems will add Caché/Ensemble 2018.1.2 to be verified on this platform.

As we get closer to the completion of those tasks, I will update this post with information on release dates, and which products and version will support Windows Server 2019.
