About 64-bit Helix ALM components
32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Helix ALM Client and Server are available. The 64-bit server lets the server computer access more RAM, which increases the size and number of projects it can store. The 64-bit client lets users integrate with 64-bit third-party applications and use Helix ALM on 64-bit Linux systems without needing to install additional libraries.
Keep the following in mind:
- The 32-bit clients can communicate with the 64-bit server and vice versa.
- All installers include the 32-bit and 64-bit components. If you run an installer on a 64-bit system, you can select to install the 32-bit or 64-bit components. See Components installed on 64-bit systems.
- If you work with source control files from Helix ALM, you may need to install the 32-bit or 64-bit client depending on the version of the source control tool you use. See Setting Helix ALM configuration options.
