The converted library could be used in V12 projects. After converted the library is showed asread only. To change it, it is necessary to close it and open it again, however pay attention to the checkbox "Opens as ready only" Hello Pegaia, Is there any way to convert libraryaround from V12 to V11? Thank you in advance! Bests regards.

With my libs, I remember that I did create a new (v12) and open it, after that I open the V11 libstand drag&drop the objects to the new one. If you could, I suggest you try it, and tell us what happens.

Siemens build forward compatible devices/software, i.e. from Vx to Vx+n is compatible. However, e.g. the SIMATIC products are not build to garanty thereverse compatibility(from Vx+n to Vx). I'm afraid that you will not be able to open the V12 library in V11 software.
