[Mi...] Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 As long as they didnt use anything new from 7.0 in the program that 6.6 doesnt have Open the program directory, there is a file called "version" Edit that file with a text editor, and change the version number to match yours.

[Er...] Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Using the newer version the Resources-Compatability-Performance pulldown menu can be used to save to specific older versions. I wonder if Calypso 3.8 is an option on 2022? 🤣 viewtopic.php?t=1345 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/8586-backwards-compatibility-between-versions/#findComment-38446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ke...] Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I honestly didn't expect that 3.8 would be there, but I had to know. Not only is 3.8 an option...3.4 is. No idea if it works, but it exists. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/8586-backwards-compatibility-between-versions/#findComment-38448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Please sign in to view this quote. Does this setting actually mean an newer version can be opened by the older version? Or is it just performance? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/8586-backwards-compatibility-between-versions/#findComment-38450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[He...] Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Please sign in to view this quote. Hello Rick, no, this setting is not a magic tool for "forward compatibility". The only thing this setting does is as follows: Run the measurement plan as if it was running on [insert version].

[Da...] Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Please sign in to view this quote. I've had success in the past with 2017 to 2014. Try to install it on a separate machine to test.

[Jo...] Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 no i didnt.. at least not yet. mostly because i need a solution to be able to swap all of our programs, and that seemed time consuming for close to 100 programs and counting. After reading replies, does the software we would be saving it to ( ie' 5.8 2014) have to be installed on the same machine that the ver 2021 is on ? i just went thru the drop downs and saved program to a flash drive ... then moved to machine that had 2014 and tries to open it.
