Q: Should I upgrade to 64-bit?
A: Yes! We are strongly recommending you take the time to upgrade where possible. Remember that you can mix and match 32-bit vs 64-bit installs as necessary for compatibility issues: See example setups
Q: Is there any potential downside to running some workstations 64-bit and some 32-bit?
A: No. You can safely run both side-by-side in the same environment.
Q: What happens if I install 64-bit on a workstation with incompatible hardware or integrations?
A: The Edge will function, but your incompatible devices will not. You should uninstall the 64-bit version and install the 32-bit version.
Q: Are there any other differences between 32-bit and 64-bit?
A: No, both versions are functionally identical and will continue to be. We have no immediate plans for dropping 32-bit support, though we probably will some day in the future.
Q: What happens if I install 64-bit but I have a MS Access database?
A: The Edge will not work. You will need to uninstall and then reinstall the 32-bit version.
Q: Does 64-bit affect any of my other Edge apps such as Edge Data Transfer (EDT) or Edge Connector (ECon)?
A: No, these add-on apps are unaffected.
