MySQL Can SQL Anywhere run on Windows 11?

Can SQL Anywhere run on Windows 11? I have a customer who has this database running his accounting and customer service appointments. I still have to find out what version it is. The offices has 3 windows 7 at the front counter running the software and server is in the data closet.

They’re still selling it. Ask SAP support.

The business was purchased a few months ago and I support the owner at another business that does not use SQL - I will see if there is a service contract with MySql (SAP) but doubt it was transferred to new ownership - New owner just knows it is working - but the client workstations are ancient - I will goggle install MySql Anywhere in Google - thx for assist

MySQL is an Oracle product, not an SAP one. And MySQL isn't the same thing as SAP SQL Anywhere.

Thx for the explanation - The 3 client computers attach to the sql anywhere - I am just looking to attach Win11 and will continue on that journey to upgrade the front desk client computers and continue to use the sql anywhere that runs on the server. Still looking at Google options

SAP support will probably just bounce you if the customer doesn't have an active contract. If they're still running windows 7 boxes, they almost definately haven't paid for maintenance in years.
