FAQ

Why does the versioning of an S5 for Windows project fail with the error message #30401 or #31102?

  • If you are working with the S5 Editor for Windows (Version 5.14), path specifications must not contain spaces. Make sure that this is the case and repeat the process.

  • S5 for Windows projects that contain S7 Blocks cannot be converted by octoplant.
