Navigation:  Working with Nx Witness > Launching Nx Witness in Compatibility Mode

It is necessary sometimes to connect to Server with different versions. A good example would be when Nx Witness is installed at multiple sites (home, work, etc.) and only one installation is upgraded. In this particular case, Servers will have different versions and one Client should connect to another Server (Client at home connects to Server at work). Servers of different versions are highlighted in red in login dialog.

In this case, the following message will appear:

You are about to connect to Server which has a different version.

Would you like to restart client in compatibility mode?

By clicking OK, the application will restart in compatibility mode.

In some instances, it may be necessary to download additional files for compatibility pack. In this  particular instance, the following message will be displayed:

You are about to connect to Server which has a different version.

Client version X is required to connect ti this Server

Download version 2.2?

Once download is completed, restart is suggested.

Note: Nx Witness recalls the Server it was last connected to and automatically suggests compatibility mode for the next launch.

IMPORTANT. If some of the components of the Multi-Server System such as Server or Client have different versions installed, it may cause potential issues. When Client is connected to Server, all component versions are checked. The warning will appear if the component versions differ from one another.

It is recommended to have the same version installed on all system components. See Upgrading Nx Witness.
