Newforma Fifth Edition requires that the Info Exchange Server and Project Center Server be on the exact same version to communicate and function.  The requirements are slightly less restrictive with the Newforma client (but all versions of the client at a site should be on the same version even if they do not match the server version.
These requirements frequently lead to a couple of questions:

1. How do I determine what version my servers and clients are currently running?

2. What version of the software represents which release of the software (i.e. initial release, HotFix1, HotFix2)?

To answer question 2, the following builds map to the following releases:

• Fifth Edition initial release – 5.0.2239

• Fifth Edition HotFix1 – 5.0.2373

• Fifth Edition HotFix2 – 5.0.2562

Client Version
To determine what release a given client is running, select the drill down next to the help button in the upper right-hand corner of Newforma, then select About Newforma Project Center…”.  The about dialog box provides the Product Version of the client installed on the machine.
