I think that with such old software versions you may run into problems with supporting the firmware versions of the drives.
Not sure if Drive ES v5.5 can be installed together with STEP7 v5.3.
You really should get everything up to v5.5.
I'm trying to get everything up to date... not an easy task when no one will pay for anything and we have 6 Siemens laptops to update! All with various changes over the years...
I'm trying to focus on having one laptop (This Laptop B) up to date with everything we need, generate a list of what is required, get quotes then update the rest.
Step 7, Drives ES, TIA Portal, WinCC, PCS7, and all the various add-on options that I don't know we have yet! The list goes on, plus all the software for other kit too.... Give me money and time to do it please
