The versions listed above are expected to run on a virtualization desktop infrastructure (VDI). If you encounter a problem while running with one of these or later versions of Attachmate products on VDI, contact Attachmate Technical Support.
Support for Attachmate Products in Virtual Environments
Support for Attachmate products on virtualization platforms is limited to issues that are Attachmate product-related.
Attachmate provides technical support to maintained customers on Attachmate client desktop products that are being run on supported operating systems and meet the criteria in the Product Support Lifecycle.
Virtualization software, such as Citrix XenApp, VMware ThinApp, Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization, Symantec Solutions for Virtualization, and Microsoft App-V, operates as a hardware abstraction layer, and Attachmate client emulation software is expected to run seamlessly in these virtual environments. For product specific information, see your product's technical specifications or supported platform information, available in product documentation or technical notes.
If an issue does occur in a virtualization environment, Attachmate Technical Support will work to isolate the cause of the problem and may ask you to duplicate the issue in a non-virtual environment. If we believe that the cause of the problem is in the hardware or operating system layer of the virtual environment and does not occur outside the virtual environment, we may direct you to your virtualization software vendor for technical support.For assistance with virtualization platform-related issues, contact the virtualization vendor:
Citrix XenApp (formerly Presentation Server): http://www.citrix.com/lang/English/support.asp
Microsoft App-V (formerly SoftGrid): http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/appvirtualization/bb676740.aspx
VMware: http://www.vmware.com/support/
If you prefer to work with Attachmate to help investigate virtualization software-related issues, you have the option to purchase consulting services. Our consulting provides specialized expertise and assistance to maintained customers when the technical issues are directly related to third-party software products or extend beyond the scope of supporting Attachmate products.
Accessing APIs
If an emulator is running in a virtual environment, APIs (like COM and HLLAPI) cannot be accessed by client applications that are running on the desktop outside of the virtual environment. Client applications like these that depend on components found in the directory where the emulator is installed will not work unless they are also installed on the server where the emulator software is located.
