Important: 32-bit operating systems and 32-bit SQL Server versions are no longer supported. This version of System Platform is only compatible with 64-bit operating systems and SQL Server versions. If you have a 32-bit version of SQL Server, you must uninstall it before installing System Platform.

System Platform will check that an installed SQL version is compatible prior to installation, and will display an error message if the installed SQL Server version is not compatible for any reason (not only for 32-bit versions).

AVEVA InTouch Access Anywhere provides remote access to InTouch applications with an HTML5 Web browser running on a desktop computer or a mobile device. Any Web browser that supports HTML5 can be used as the client to view InTouch applications running on a remote desktop server. InTouch Access Anywhere enables you to select an InTouch application from a list and view it running in WindowViewer.

The InTouch Access Anywhere installation media provides the following:

• AVEVA InTouch Access Anywhere Server: Enables you to view remote InTouch applications hosted on Terminal Servers with an HTML5-compliant web browser running on mobile devices or a desktop.
• AVEVA InTouch Access Anywhere Secure Gateway: Optional server that provides secure remote connections from clients running on unsecured networks to internal network resources. The Secure Gateway provides authentication and authorization services as well as data encryption.
