    I installed the TIA Portal V15. When I try to download a program from the driver I get this information

    TIA Portal V15. I can't download the program from the driver

    Is there any way to download the program from the driver that was written in the older version of TIA Portal?

    Just as the colleague above writes,
    Download via V13, convert to V15 and then you can act.

    Can I use the older version if I have a license for a newer version?

    No,
    You must have a V13 license if you want to work on it.

    OK thanks for the information. I unnecessarily uninstalled an older version of TIA :) . I thought you only need to have a newer version. I thought that Siemens is just like any other normal driver and I was very surprised here :)

    Absolutely not

    License in TIA works "back"

    Hmm,
    And I and external companies keep each TIA with its own PC license.
    But if you are sure that one latest license supports older versions then I will not argue. Nevertheless, it is very strange when it comes to Siemens that something is so compatible that it was so "back" free.

    It is this problem of compatibility and "pulling" projects of previous versions that is the reason for this.
    People would "kill" Siemens if you bought (now) V15 and it turned out that you also have to buy V14 and V13 to work "normally".

    So normally we install several versions (preferably by downloading trials and not from DVDs, we will lose less time on updates), throw the license into the latest version and any previous one will also accept

    I will write only regarding confirmation of TIA Portal reverse license compatibility. I recently had such a dilemma, and the answer directly from Siemens was positive:
    Quote:
    By purchasing the V15 license, you can install and work on previous versions of the TIA Portal, i.e. V11, V12, V13, V14.


    However, it hurts the fact that you need to have all previous versions of the Tia Portal, as well as the inability to download the batch from the panel and its editing (the need to have a project).

    The use of an older version to download the project from the driver solved the problem

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around issues faced when attempting to download a program from a driver using TIA Portal V15, particularly when the program was created in an older version. Users suggest connecting with TIA Portal V13 to download the program, then converting it to V15 for further use. It is clarified that a license for the older version (V13) is necessary to work with projects from that version, as the licensing system does not allow backward compatibility with newer licenses. Users express surprise at the licensing requirements and the need to maintain multiple versions of TIA Portal for compatibility. Siemens' licensing policy is discussed, emphasizing the necessity of having all previous versions installed to ensure proper functionality.
