However, the 32bit version will of course continue to support older systems – We consciously decided not to support SAP systems with SAP_BASIS releases older than 7.00 with the 64bit version to allow us some future improvements that the 32bit version will never be able to offer. Our clear goal is to come as close as possible to the functional scope of the 32bit version Presently we are confident the number of such missing features will be low. If so, we will publish a list of these features in advance. – The 64bit version may not include some features. – There will be individual patches for the 32bit and the 64bit version, but their shipment is aligned – The delivery media will contain both components and the various SAP GUI Add-Ons
Additionally, who except the development and the support team wants to run two SAP GUI versions which both need to be patched on a client? We tried this, but we were facing severe issues. – The 32bit and 64bit version cannot be installed in parallel. – We will deliver both a 32bit and a 64bit version with general support Some pieces of information which are important for you to know: Yes, it of course is our intention to make it look and behave like the 32bit version as far as possible. When we started the project about a year ago we were uncertain whether we would be successful, but now I am running a 64bit version on my device since months without major issues and I can watch the functional scope keeping to grow and grow.Īt this point of time in the project lifetime we have reached a level of certainty that allows me to tell you that we are very likely going to have a 64bit version in SAP GUI for Windows 8.00 (scheduled delivery Q1/2023).Ħ4bit version of SAP GUI for Windows 8.00 For us this comes with a very high effort, because SAP GUI is huge in terms of codebase, but also when it comes to integrating third party content (which also needs adjustments). Regardless of this, we keep getting requests for full 64bit support in SAP GUI for Windows and thus decided to implement, deliver and support such a version. The most important limitation in this area was overcome when we started supporting 64bit Microsoft Office versions in SAP Desktop Office Integration. However, this has a couple of drawbacks when it comes to memory utilization and integration with other 64bit processes. The 32bit version works well on 64bit operating systems and runs in the so-called “emulation” (see also ).
Until now, SAP GUI for Windows is only available as a 32bit version with the exception being the 64bit versions of the automation controls (Logon Control, Table Factory Control, BAPI Control and Function Control) that we introduced in SAP GUI for Windows 7.70. Update: The registration for the beta program was open and is now closed:
Update#2: SAP GUI for Windows 8.00 including a 64bit version will be shipped on 27th of January 2023.
