 Technote (FAQ)
 
 
Question
Are there any Lotus Sametime products that are 64-bit applications or that can run on 64-bit operating systems? From reviewing the statement on Lotus Domino companion products, you note that Sametime is a 32-bit application, but you require more detailed information.
 
Answer
Unless explicitly stated as 64-bit in the system requirements, the current Lotus Sametime family of products are 32-bit applications and run on 32-bit operating systems.

Refer to the following tables for a summary of the 32-bit or 64-bit information for Sametime server and Sametime client. For specific product version and operating system version requirements, see the detailed system requirements.

  • Testing conducted after the initial product ship has resulted in support for the Sametime Gateway 8.0.x (32-bit application) running on 64-bit Windows 2003 or 64-bit Linux.
  • Sametime Gateway runs with WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.x, 32-bit version.
  • The IBM i operating system only runs on 64-bit hardware, and has been enabled for 64-bit for a long time. It is a virtual machine architecture that supports both 128-bit and 64-bit pointers. All Lotus software products that run on IBM i (i5/OS) have 64-bit addressing capabilities.
