Tell the version of an APA

Hi guys,

I have an old FTView SE APA, and I don't know what version it was made in. Is there any way to find out by testing the APA itself?

Thanks!

Wow! Great help! Thanks, dmroeder!

No problem, glad it helped!

Nice program dmroeder.

dmroeder, do you also know how to get the version from an HMIServer backup (*.sed)?

Thanks!

I do not know how from the .sed file. Do you have an archive of the project?

What happens is when you compile a project, a file called VERSION_INFORMATION is included with it. The value in that file tells what version it was saved as. So I only have a way to determine from an archive (MER or APA).

That program is a little outdated. There are newer versions of FactoryTalk, so it will only report up to V8 and probably say "Unknown" beyond that version. We still use V8 so I don't have examples of what that VERSION_INFORMATION file will contain.
