Table of Contents

Supported operating systems

Fully Supported

  • Windows XP SP3 through latest non-beta Windows
  • Ubuntu 14.04
  • Mac OS X 10.9 through the latest non-beta version
  • RedHat 6 and above
  • Fedora 19-21

Partly Supported

We're not actively testing on these platforms, so our software may not work properly but may also work without issues.

  • Windows 2003 Server
  • openSUSE
  • Fedora
  • Ubuntu 13.10 and below, or 14.10 and above
  • Fedora 22

Unsupported

We are no longer supporting these platforms due to lack of support for new features.

  • Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion and below
  • Windows NT/2000
  • Windows 95/98/ME
  • Linux systems running OpenSSL < 1.0.1 (for encryption support)

Network requirements

  • Systems using Synergy must be on the same local network.
  • The network can be wired or wireless.

Other requirements

  • The Synergy system acting as the "server" must have a keyboard and mouse (or pointing device).
  • The "client" systems can have keyboards/mice, but those are not necessary once the clients are configured and Synergy is running. It will be necessary to control them without Synergy (either locally or via a remote login) until Synergy is up and running on the server and client.
  • Synergy is a KBM application (KeyBoard and Mouse), not KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) so in most circumstances each system must have a monitor.
