An ibaPDA-Client can establish a connection to an ibaPDA-Server of a different version without difficulty.

If the client version does not support features of a more recent server version, the use of these features is not possible or restricted. For instance, the I/O configuration or the data storage configuration may be opened in read-only mode only.

Correspondingly, the same applies if you use a client version for connecting to an older server version.

In case of such a version conflict you can use the command Install client version from server in the Help menu at any time in order to install the matching client version.

An alignment in the inverse direction, i.e. adaption of the server version according to the client version is not possible.

Note
	If an ibaPDA-Server is installed on the client computer too, this method of adapting the client version is not possible. The client version should always match the server version on the same computer.
