1 Supported Platforms Overview
This overview of supported platforms for SAP Business One helps you to plan your implementation or upgrade
projects, it applies to releases of SAP Business One 9.0 and higher.
Use this overview document in conjunction with the SAP Productivity Availability Matrix and the Administrator's
Guides for SAP Business One on SAP Help.
1.1 Disclaimers
• SAP delivers support only for selected releases at its own discretion, based on the business impact and
the complexity of implementation. This document is provided for reference purposes only and does not
represent a binding current commitment. As this overview is an offline document, refer to the SAP
Productivity Availability Matrix for the latest up-to-date support information.
• In general, only English language platform versions are supported. Platform versions in other languages
are generally supported if there are no issues specific to the platform versions in the other languages.
• SAP no longer issues support statements for SAP Business One on virtualization software as the
responsibility for operating system compatibility lies with virtualization software vendors. SAP Business
One runs on virtualization software just as it runs on non-virtualized operating system platforms.
• SAP Business One is only tested on major versions of Microsoft operating systems, databases and Office
software products. Service Packs delivered by Microsoft in the course of a product's lifecycle are not
tested separately but are automatically supported for SAP Business One.
• SAP investigates issues with Microsoft Service Packs on a case-by-case basis as a program error.
• For inquiries concerning supported platforms, open a ticket under the component SBO-CRO-PLT
through the Support Launchpad for SAP Business One. For platform-related information specific to SAP
Business One XL Reporter, read SAP Note 1787431.
