Supported versions of Enterprise Vault in Compliance Accelerator environments

As a minimum, you must install an 12.0 or later version of one of the following on the Compliance Accelerator server:

  • Enterprise Vault Services

  • Enterprise Vault API Runtime

Note the following important points:

  • All Enterprise Vault servers in all Enterprise Vault sites in a Compliance Accelerator environment must run the same version of Enterprise Vault.

    For example, when using Compliance Accelerator with two Enterprise Vault installations, you cannot have one site that runs Enterprise Vault 12.5 and another that runs Enterprise Vault 14.0.

  • When upgrading both Compliance Accelerator and Enterprise Vault, you must first upgrade Enterprise Vault on all Enterprise Vault servers, then Enterprise Vault on all Compliance Accelerator servers, and finally Compliance Accelerator itself.

See the Compatibility Charts for more information on supported versions of Enterprise Vault.
