Hi,

What is the version compatibility of the license master with other components?
I couldn't find any documents.
Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you.

Hello, always upgraded slaves (test env for instance) and license master / manager after as in production, never had any issue.

@earakam A license master must always be of equal or later version than its license slaves.
We now have documentation :

It might not fully answer your question but take a look at this:

In summary, be careful, particularly when working with components running very different versions.

Hi javiergn
I appreciate your reply. I've checked the post you gave me.
I understood that there is some issue and must be careful.
I am also surprised that i still can not find any official document for the compatibility.

Thank you.

PS I would appreciate it if you could inform me when you find any other useful documents or posts.
