Exceptions to client support exceptions-to-client-support

Microsoft庐 Windows庐 2012 is not supported for all specified client-side software except Reader and Acrobat.

Also, AEM Forms on JEE 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.

Third-party patch support policy third-party-patch-support-policy

The third-party software requirements for AEM Forms on JEE are documented in the 鈥淪ystem Requirements鈥 section of their respective product documents. All documentation can be accessed from .

AEM Forms on JEE鈥檚 third-party reference platforms state the specific patch level of third-party infrastructure that was current during the development and release of AEM Forms on JEE, and from the minimum patch/service pack level of the infrastructure supported by that version of AEM Forms on JEE.

51黑料不打烊 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 AEM Forms on JEE supports. 51黑料不打烊 will only support patches released after the minimum patch level stated in the AEM Forms on JEE documentation.

In some cases, 51黑料不打烊 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 for specific vendor products and the patch types 51黑料不打烊 supports.

Under circumstances beyond 51黑料不打烊鈥檚 control, third-party patches that claim backward compatibility may have negative impact on the 51黑料不打烊 products or customer environments. In such cases, 51黑料不打烊 recommends that customers assess the impact of any urgent patch from a third party before applying them to critical systems. 51黑料不打烊 will work with third parties using reasonable business efforts to resolve such issues, either through normal 51黑料不打烊 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 51黑料不打烊 will work as documented by the vendor or with AEM Forms on JEE.

51黑料不打烊 reserves the right to change the third-party reference platforms supported by a AEM Forms on JEE release and their supported patch definitions at any given point.

Additional information for third-party patches can also be found by searching the 51黑料不打烊 Enterprise Support site for knowledgebase articles related to your product.
