what is meant by Windows Server on IA64 64bit?

[Former Member]

When downloading the SAP Software , there were several installation masters - for Windows Server IA64 64 bit, Wind. Server on IA32 32bit etc.

What are these related to - hardware or software?

How to know which version to download?

Thanks

Hmm... when you don't know what this is about, you probably shouldn't try to install SAP Server software...

Anyhow, these abrevations refer to hardware platforms.

See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IA-32] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IA-64] for more detailed information.

Depending on your hardware you have to decide which software to install.
