RobotStudio

whenever I have opened a station with 5.60 I cant open it anymore with 5.15.
the following error comes up:

RobotStudio .NET exception: The given key was not present in the dictionary.

RobotStudio 5.15.02 is not forwards compatible with RobotStudio 5.60. This means that any station or library that has been saved with RobotStudio 5.60 cannot be opened in 5.15.02.

Is there any particular reason why you need to run 5.15 and 5.60 side by side?

Good to know!

every pc here with RS has to update at the same time.

Why wouldn’t you be able to run same project with different versions of RobotStudio ? Reason for compatibility can be that two people who are sharing and developing one project might have 5.15 and 5.60 versions installed on their computers.
