Technical Requirements Vista clients and EOF 4.00

Post by Ckral » Mon Oct 13, 2008 8:00 am

When installing vista clients to be able to use the cardreader what are the software requirements for those clients?

- Gemsafe libraries 4.20 (SP4? And later versions?)
- Gemplus drivers (version?)
- the EOF client software

Will there be new install CDs when ordering new cards+reader?

Btw: it would be great if there were download links or the software provided on the epoline.org site. I know there was an email a while ago with a link for the gemsafe libraries when the SDK for 4.00 was released.

Thank you and kind regards,

To use the Gemplus GemPCTwin on Windows Vista, you will need to request the
Gemalto/GemSAFE libraries version 5.1 from the EPO procedural and Technical support services
+31 70 340 4500 or Support@epoline.org. You will be sent a link where both the libraries software
as well as the Vista compliant reader driver can be found. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to make the
libraries software publicly available on our website for license reasons. The licence is tied to the smart card
that you possess.

Secondly, you require the EPO online filing version 4.00 to effectively work on Windows Vista.

Thirdly , you will indeed receive a new CD when applying for a new card and reader. However, the GemSAFE libraries on the CDs will only be the GemSAFE libraries 4.2 SP4 (Non Vista compliant). The
reason being that only cards issued from November 11, 2007 will work with the version 5.1 while the
version 4.2 SP2 supports both cards. There are still quite a lot of valid pre-November 11, 2007 cards
in the IP community.
