Last modified: December 10, 2020
Informix Client SDK and Informix Connect run on most systems that have a UNIX, Linux, or Windows operating system and, starting with version 3.5, also on the Mac OS X operating system.
Starting with version 4.50.xC4, stand-alone installation of the Client SDK requires a minimum version of OpenSSL 1.0.x to be installed on the system. Please refer to https://www.openssl.org for more information on OpenSSL.
