I'm using an old version of Polyspace Access, not the current one. Do I need to upgrade, and is it safe to use the latest version even if the results uploaded to Polyspace Access are generated using an old version of Polyspace?

Why not staying with my release?

Polyspace Access users should always use the latest version of Polyspace Access.

Bugs are fixed in every release and lots of improvements are made about performance and usability for example.

So we strongly suggest users to update to the latest release.

By the way, upgrading to the latest release offers enhanced performance and fewer bugs. Persisting with an outdated version after identifying a problem can result in wasted time for all parties involved—users, developers, and support teams. This time is spent diagnosing the issue and seeking temporary solutions. It would be more efficiently used by upgrading to the most recent version of the product.

About the compatibility: Polyspace Access is backward-compatible with older versions of Polyspace so it is safe to upload results from an old version of Polyspace to the latest Polyspace Access.
