Hi,

I have the "Ignition Vision Client Launcher" version 1.1.42.  
Can I upgrade the Ignition server to version 8.1.44 and still open the projects using this version of Vision Client Launcher? Or I must upgrade the Vision to 1.1.44 to be able to do it?  
Thanks.

Yes, you can upgrade these separately. The older Client Launcher should still be able to launch against a newer version of the Ignition Gateway.

It'll work, but the older launcher will notice that the target gateway has a newer version, and will nag you to upgrade your launcher.

It is best to use the newest Client Launcher available for all of your gateways.

I see, thanks.  
It's because the Vision Launcher will be updated automatically at a later time, but now only the server will be updated. I just wanted to make sure it will work.
