I just updated our Studio 5000 Version to v24 but all my program files are v21. How can I update my program files to v24 if I need to? I realize that all my new programs will be v24 so I was wondering how to update the others one as well.

I thought the version used depended on the firmware of the processor it was being downloaded to. this is why you need to have all the versions on your laptop, I could be wrong.

That is correct. The Logix software version on your PC and the firmware version of the controller must match to be compatible. You can update your programs from version 21 to version 24 by changing it in the controller properties in Logix, but if you want to download or go online with your updated programs, you will need to flash your processor's firmware to version 24 also.
Assuming that you have both V21 and V24 installed, open your V21 program, go to Controller Properties, click the Change Controller button, change Software Version to 24.
Keep in mind that going back is not that easy. It does keep a backup though whenever you change revisions.
I just find the EDS, or FW files... I have to write a so small project,
so if trial version (15 days) available, will be good for me..
I have a 1769-L30ER Compact Logix CPU.
