Any thoughts? should I wait for a debugging period, anything I should consider when doing the migration? cheers
	Changing random lines of code in your program until it works is "hacky" and "bad practice" but if you do it fast enough it's machine learning and pays 4 x your salary

The details of the migration are indicated in the V19 manual: SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic/Professional V19 and SIMATIC WinCC V19 starting on page 489. No specific issue to take into account is specified. Before performing the migration, it may be advisable to do a complete compilation to regenerate the project and then migrate it.

Also the Update cycle in a new version is quite high, so an Update will come up almost ever 2-3 Month If there is trouble you could also change the Image Version of the Unified device to V18 for example and the licenses are downward compatible. I would go with V19, but as suggested do a full compile and do a full backup in case you have to build backwards to teh original version Bye Murof
