K2 connect Product Compatibility, Integration and Support

 

How to use this matrix

A check mark means that the listed product/version is supported by K2. If any product or version is not listed and not covered by the K2 Product Support and Release Strategy , it is not supported. A missing check mark means that the listed product/version is not supported with that specific version of K2 connect. Because K2 connect for SAP is an add-on to K2, detailed information on individual K2 components and Microsoft products and technologies required/supported can be obtained from the K2 Getting Started Guide > Prerequisites section. See the K2 Product Compatibility, Integration and Support matrix for what is supported in K2.
