SCL Supported OS

For SCL, Synopsys recommends single (not redundant) license servers with the following system hardware & configuration:

Do not use the reiserfs or btrfs filesystem
Docker and other containers are not supported.
Virtual machines are not recommended as they can impact license server performance.
Other OS platforms are supported (see table below), but are recommended only for LAN servers with small quantities of licenses.

NOTE ON OS SUPPORT:

Synopsys builds its products on a selected "base" version of each operating system.
Operating system vendors guarantee that applications compiled on a lower minor version of an operating system will be binary-compatible with higher minor versions of the same operating system. This means that an application supported on OS version X.Y should run on OS version X.Z. For example, a tool supported on RHEL 6.6 should also run on RHEL 6.7.
Synopsys relies on the OS vendors' binary compatibility claim and supports running higher minor versions.
Synopsys also relies on the vendors' binary-compatibility claim on support across major versions. For example, a tool supported on RHEL 6.6 should also run on RHEL 7.2.
