Tomcat 8.5.24 32bit is the default version packaged in the Aware IM 8.1+ server installation.

Tomcat 8.0.14 32bit is the default version packaged in the Aware IM 6.0-8.0 server installation.

Tomcat 6.0.35 32bit is the default version packaged in the Aware IM 5.9 server installation.

  • Tomcat 9.0.11 - For Aware IM v6.0+ - 11 Aug, 2018. Tomcat 9 is designed to run on Java SE 8 or later.
