Will X7 save back to X6 without a hitch

[Thee Rickster ™]

I need to know as this will affect how many seats I am allowed to renew on maintenace.

 

My seat is a giving, I have one more that the powers to be are

iffy on whether to maintain, in my department.( i believe it has to be maintained personally)

 

the other 4 seats in our cnc department are on a hasp and is not a huge concern

as they do not open or have acces to any of my 'MOLD' files

 

Any incite will be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards

Rick

I mean really, what version has had a problem saving back at all?

[Thee Rickster ™]

Never had too, but i am concerned about what PITA i will have

if they dont update my programmers seat.(between our comunications)

 

Hang tight

 

I will confront tne powers to be and see if they know th impoact(head ache) it will cause me.

(not to udate.)

As always? X6 will not save backwards, correct?

Not x64 to x32

 

But think about that, there is no X5 x64 to support a x64 X6 coming back

 

But X6 32bit to X5 32bit works geometry only, as all previous versions have

Excellent, it was an oversite and both seats are to be renewed.....PHEW!

 

Cheers

 

JP my other seat is on a net hasp with the other 4 seats.

Will we be able to add maintenace to just one on teh net hasp?

Rick, no you will not

 

If you only want to do one, that seat will need to be broken off of that nethasp

THe key thing to remember about the X5/X6 stuff was the X5 was an x32 application. So if you have an x64 workstation and are running X6, it is not backward compatable to x32. Saving backwards should not be a problem moving forward until we get an x128 OS. Then all hell will break loose I'm sure.

thanks JP.

Thanks for the info James.

 

But none of that is pertinent to my dilemma.

(havent had a x 32 bit os since X4)
