Compatibility Matrix between MM and CCC versions
The breaking changes from 2.1 to CCC 5.5
Compatibility Table
A a rule of thumb then CCC follows the MM versions when it is features that involves database changes such as using new metadata. So if a feature was introduced in CCC 5.5.2 then it requires MM 5.5.2. But newer CCC can be used with older versions of MM but just without specific features that was introduced in later MM’s**. You can go to CCC5.5 Release notes to see all releases of CCC.
**However, we do provide specific configuration scripts to enable certain features and in those instances please consult your Technical Account Manager. An overview can be seen in below table.
