| Microsoft Internet Explorer** | 11** |
| NOTE: IBM supports other versions of the browsers, as long as the vendors do not remove or disable functionality that the product relies upon. For browser levels higher or lower than the versions that are certified with the product, customer support accepts usage-related and defect-related service requests. As with operating system and virtualization environments, if the support center cannot re-create the issue in the lab, we might ask the client to re-create the problem on a certified browser version to determine whether a product defect exists. Defects are not accepted for cosmetic differences between browsers or browser versions that do not affect the functional behavior of the product. If a problem is identified in the product, defects are accepted. If a problem is identified with the browser, IBM might investigate potential solutions or workaround that the client can implement until a permanent solution becomes available. | |
| ** For Copy Services Manager 6.2.3 and higher, Microsoft Internet Explorer is no longer supported. | |
