PowerDesigner 15.3 & 16.1 - Will it work with Windows 10?

[Former Member]

Hi PowerDesigner Team,

I just got off the phone with the State of Idaho and they currently carry a few licenses for PD 15.3 and 16.1 and have just recently upgraded to Windows 10. Will both of these versions work just fine or do they need to upgrade to 16.5?

Looking forward to hear from you!

All the best,

SAP PowerDesigner 16.6 is expected to be released with support for Windows 10

Thank you, David. I will share this with the customer. If they've already upgraded their OS will they be at a roadblock to use the software until 16.6 is released or is there some kind of patch we can help them with?

Officially Windows 10 is supported with PowerDesigner 16.6.  Older releases might work as Windows 10 is Windows 8 backward compatible, however any issues with earlier releases of SAP PowerDesigner would have to be reproduced under a supported Windows environment.  There are no known limitations and we have not performed any testing.

I've been using PD 16.5 with Windows 10 for a while, with no issues.

Is there a date for PD 16.6, yet?

Just seen your earlier message about release dates, David. Could you announce PD 16.6 on SCN, please? I never look at Service Marketplace, partly 'cos I've no idea where it is.

Yes George, we will announce when SAP PowerDesigner 16.6 goes RTC (Release to Customer).

Also, here is the link to Service Market Place (SMP). You can also visit the Product Availability Matrix (PAM) on that site for this same information.

Hi there.

We face some problems with using PD 16.6 with WIN 10 in pysical database models.

Now the question is if thats a 16.6 Problem or an WIN 10 Problem.

@George McGeachie have you ever seen that problems?

Will SP1 of 16.6 solve that problem?
