This tech note lists the supported versions of the Embarcadero Database products. Click here to view Support Definitions.
Patch/Point Releases
Embarcadero releases patch/point builds as full-install builds. When applying the latest patch/point release, it is necessary to remove the previous version of the primary version.
Ex. DBArtisan 9.0.2 is the 2nd patch/point release for DBArtisan 9.0.
DBArtisan 9.0 must be uninstalled before the DBArtisan 9.0.2 patch/point release can be installed.
Software Bundles
For software bundles such as DB PowerStudio and ER/Studio Enterprise Team editions, please refer to the individual products for the supported versions.
