Backward Compatibility for 64-bit Version (CANape)

CANape is delivered as a 64-bit application starting with version 17. What compatibility points must be considered when updating from the previous 32-bit versions?

When updating to the 64-bit version of CANape, please consider the following points:

• The 64-bit version of CANape cannot be run on 32-bit operating systems.
• The ETAS BOA interface offers no support for 64-bit, thus the "ETAS Hardware" entry will not be displayed in the device configuration.
• The INCA COM DLL does not work with 64-bit applications.
• User-defined 32-bit checksum DLLs are not supported.
• CDD files with embedded 32-bit DLLs are not supported.
• The following user-defined DLLs have to be recompiled as 64-bit DLLs:
  • Function DLLs and MATLAB/Simulink DLLs used for Bypassing
  • Function DLLs used in CASL scripts
  • DLLs for DAIO-system devices
  • Transport-layer DLLs of XCP devices
• Condalo Logger files (CCO3) are not supported.
• The Vector USB Dongle (blue dongle) is not supported.
• Registry entries for 64-bit will not work with the 32-bit version of the API. The client is integrated statically: For the 64-bit version, a client of version 17.0 is required/an update of the client is required.
• MOST networks do not work.
• XCPonSXI is not supported. 
• It is not possible to create devices using the CANopen driver.
