If the latest version/service pack of your OS isn't listed, don't fret. Portfolio should work OK. However, vendors and users never know until Microsoft or Apple release a version/SP what is 'in' the release. For instance, the release OS 10.3 broke some menus in Portfolio v6.1.So do allow a little time for testing. If you're running the latest OS, drop a line to Extensis - making clear your OS version. At worst you may hear some features don't work - but most likely an later update will fix them.
Technical Requirements for running elements of Portfolio v6 are shown below. For more detailed information see the readme files for the appropriate version.
The data below is based on published data from Extensis. Users should assume that more recent versions of Windows OS are compatible. With Mac, there is unlikely to be further development of the 'classic' environment. Due to issues with the still emergent OS-X, the v6.1 client requires Jaguar (10.2.x) or later. The OS-X native Server requirements are less clear but are best assumed as the same as for the client.

Notes:
1. To use client/server, i.e. Server + Network clients, your network must be running TCP/IP. If your Portfolio Network clients are on Mac and PC sections of a mixed network you will need to ensure the necessary translation protocols are in place.
2. QuickTime is needed for extraction of information, especially thumbnails, from some of the supported file formats. In order to view Photoshop file layer use the 'recommended' install instead of the 'basic' one.
