Product versions

All editions of the project development and runtime software should have the same version number, which uses the X.Y+SPWW syntax (for example, AVEVA Edge v23.1), where:

• X represents the Family version. The Family version changes only when major enhancements are added to the product technologies and concepts.

• Y represents the Sub-version. The Sub-version changes when minor enhancements and/or new features are added to the product.

• WW represents the Service Pack. The Service Pack version changes when you must install add-on packages to accomplish the following:

  • Upgrade files for the version previously installed

  • Fix bugs in the product (showstoppers and no-workarounds)

  • Provide minor enhancements before releasing the next version of the product

    Each Service Pack release supersedes the previous Service Pack release. For example, SP2 includes all the contents of SP1 and all newly upgraded files, bug fixes, and enhancements. SP3 includes all the contents of SP2 and all new upgraded files, bug fixes, enhancements and so on.

Later versions of this software can run projects that were developed in earlier versions, but earlier versions cannot run projects that were developed or modified in later versions. Opening and modifying a project in a later version will upgrade the project to that version.

Note: We issue each license for a specific Family version and Sub-version (X.Y), and the license is only valid for that version (including Service Packs). The license is not valid for a newer Family version or Sub-version of the product. Therefore, if you install a new version, you must also upgrade your license to the version being installed. If you install a Service Pack only, you do not need to upgrade your license.
