With which versions of OS/400 is your software compatible?
CoolSpools V7
The latest version of software is CoolSpools V7 which supersedes all previous software versions, including Slipstream, CoolTools and Communiqué as well as CoolSpools and CoolSpools PLUS.
CoolSpools V7 is compatible with all versions of OS/400 and IBM i from V6R1M0 up to V7R4M0 (IBM i 7.4).
If you are upgrading OS/400 from V5R4M0 or earlier to V6R1M0 or later there is additional information about that process here.
If you are running an OS/400 release that is older than V6R1M0 then you cannot install CoolSpools V7, but CoolSpools V6 remains available and is compatible with OS/400 versions back to V5R3M0.

Note: CoolSpools versions earlier than V6 are no longer available to purchase/download. If you have previously installed an earlier CoolSpools version than V6 then be aware that this has not been certified to operate on the latest OS releases. Some features may still operate, but as it is no longer supported and new licence keys are no longer issued, we strongly recommend that you upgrade CoolSpools to the latest version.
