Release Specific Support

This guide lists the platforms supported by the Synopsys W-Foundation Releases 2024.09, 2024.12 and 2025.03. A platform consists of the computer architecture and the operating system version. Not all Synopsys products are available on every platform listed below. For an exact listing of platform availability for Synopsys products you have purchased, consult the Synopsys  SolvNetPlus Download Center.

Synopsys builds its products on selected versions of each operating system. 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 will run on OS version X.Z. For example, a tool supported on RHEL 8.4 will run on RHEL 8.5. Synopsys relies on the OS vendor's binary compatibility claim and supports running higher minor versions. Synopsys also relies on the vendor’s binary compatibility claim on support across major versions. For example, a tool supported on RHEL 8.4+ will run on RHEL 9.1+.
