Do datecodes conflict?

Question

Will datecodes under the same major release conflict with one another. Meaning, will datecodes such as Pro 5/Creo M080 & Pro5/Creo M110, result in any interoperability issues when sharing files? My company is using M080 and I want to install M110 on my PC.

Thanks,

Kevin

P.S. Is there any hope of PTC creating interoperability between major releases of Creo?

1. Kevin, we use Pro5/Creo. We are a large center and have numerous datecodes being used at any given time with no noticable issues. I wouldn't forsee any problems other than the lack of updates on the M080 machine.

2. There is always hope!

That said, Creo 1 and Wildfire 5 can get a little mixed up. For example, the Restore Session feature seems to be shared between the two. It's actually quite handy, but I don't think it's intentional. So if Wildfire 5 crashes then you launch Creo it will offer to restore your Wildfire 5 session, as will Wildfire 5 itself of course.

PTC did release add-ons for maintained customers to let you open up newer Pro/E files in older version of Wildfire, but they seem to have discontinued this with Creo 1, and I think someone said recently that they were a bit rubbish anyway.
