version distribute vi

I did some VIs in LV 5.1 (the only licensed version we own) as a proof of concept, and they work great!

 

I just installed the 8.6 Eval version, and I can't open them ("version too old" error). I want to open them in some intermediate version and re-save them so I can open them in newer versions, but I want to choose the "right" version to resave them under so that they are most widely usable by my customer base.

 

Is there a versioning table somewhere that shows what versions of LV read/break which file format versions? e.g. I don't want to bring them all the way forward to 8.6 if that means people with 8.2 can't read them, but I don't want to leave them at 7.0 if that still keeps them incompatible with 8.6.

 

Once I decide on a version, I will still need some help doing the actual conversion, because I only have 5.1 and 8.6 Eval Smiley Very Happy

 

Thanks!
