Windows System Requirements

The Simba Salesforce ODBC Connector supports Salesforce versions 1.0 and later.

The Simba Salesforce ODBC Connector is based on Salesforce API version 45.

The connector requires a Developer Edition, Professional Edition, Enterprise Edition, or Unlimited Edition Salesforce account. If you are an existing Salesforce customer and want to upgrade your account to one of these editions, please contact your Salesforce account representative.

The Simba Salesforce ODBC Connector supports Salesforce API v2 to v6.

Install the connector on client machines where the application is installed. Before installing the connector, make sure that you have the following:

  • Administrator rights on your machine.
  • A machine that meets the following system requirements:
    • One of the following operating systems: 
      • Windows 11 or 10
      • Windows Server 2022, 2019, 2016, or 2012 R2
    • 150 MB of available disk space

Before the connector can be used, the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022 with the same bitness as the connector must also be installed. If you obtained the connector from the Simba website, then your installation of the connector automatically includes this dependency. Otherwise, you must install the redistributable manually. You can download the installation packages for the redistributable at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170.
