Hello, I would like to deploy a module that was developed on Ignition 8.1 to Ignition 8.3. When I set the minimum required version to one of the Ignition 8.1 required versions, I get a warning message that the module “requires Ignition 8.1.36 (b0) and is not compatible with Ignition 8.3.0 (b2025091510).” Is it possible to deploy modules that were built for 8.1 to 8.3? I would have thought that if the minimum required version was an 8.1 version, it would be compatible. Thanks! ---

No, you'll have to recompile it for 8.3, likely with some code changes required. ---

I’ve been using [GitHub - inductiveautomation/ignition-module-tools: Tools that help in the creation and development of Modules for Inductive Automation's Ignition.](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-module-tools) to generate template for ignition module for development, is this still a valid approach with module for 8.3? ---

Did you get an answer on this or find out what to do for 8.3? I’ve been trying for a good bit and haven’t been able to figure it out. ---

The module generator tool hasn't been updated to create 8.3 compatible templates, but you could still use it to generate a "skeleton" of the build structure you want, then compare/contrast dependency versions with an 8.3 example such as the Perspective component SDK example: > **[ignition-sdk-examples/perspective-component at ignition-8.3 ·...](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/tree/ignition-8.3/perspective-component)** > > Ignition SDK Example Projects. Contribute to inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples development by creating an account on GitHub. The actual underlying structure required has not changed - dependency versions are different and some API methods, including some you may want to override on the `GatewayHook`, are different, but nothing is substantially different. You can make a new thread in the #Module Development category with your specific problems.
