Its their actual compatibility matrix, which was send to us by their support team after we looked into upgrading SQL for a client..
Act Support, told us is is unsupported/incompatible, and even if we could get components to work, they could not guarantee that it would not have problems down the track.
Hence they recommended to upgrade Act!, which the client declined due to financial reasons. We never bothered trying the install, as it would be resource wasting time & money wise without having a guarantee that it will work for our situation (Outsourced support).
This is over a year ago however. If you have a contact person at Act, he might be able to provide more current info.

I've tried with 2014, didn't work. Is there a reason you'd want to do this?
Technically both my own and Mile Lazarus comment's are correct.
I supplied a link to the official matrix, based on my own feedback from Act! when we attempted the same, and Mike posted from his own experience. Its not possible.

Mike Lazarus,
When you say "I've tried with 2014", what and how did you do exactly? Did you try to install ACT to a system with SQL 2014 ? Did you install ACT v.16, then try to do a SQL upgrade install to 2014? And what about it "didn't work"?
