Hi,

The software you use are relatively old indeed, so you might have some problems with rhel version 4 or higher. I am not sure but rhel 2.1 might be a better option for you. Nevertheless, please check this site for your application compatibility with rhel versions:

https://www.redhat.com/apps/isv_catalog/

At this page, you will see "Search Red Hat Software Catalog". And search by application here like Cadence or Mentor.
