spoonman56 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 My dealer upgraded my HC500 last week to 1.7 but didn't leave me the HE software. Can I continue top use 1.6 ? Is there an upgrade by internet option on the C4 website? I can't seem to find it.Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 No, you can *read* the programming using HE 1.6 but it's not recommeneded to make any changes using 1.6 to a later project as it can really break something. Might give him a call and ask why he didnt leave you the new copy of HE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 There were some fairly significant changes made in 1.7. I would take thecodeman's advice and NOT modify any programming with that older edition of Composer. I'd be on the phone with my dealer about 5 seconds after I realized he didn't update it.

henniae Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 The current license agreement for Composer HE allows you a perpetual upgrade to the current version required to support your current system software version. Since you are running v1.7 you are entitled to an upgrade to HE v1.7. Contact your dealer and he can provide you access to the latest upgrade software for Composer HE.

slemay Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yes - currently when you purchase Composer HE you are entitled to free updates to it as your system gets upgraded (must come from your dealer). Again correct that you DO NOT (!!!) want to edit your system with the wrong version of Composer HE in ANYWAY!!!! Just a few weeks ago we had a client that did this and it FRIED (!!!) his system. We had to spend quite a few hours fixing it. So I STRONGLY advise against it. Get the correct version in place then you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 By 'FRIED (!!!) his system', I assume you mean it messed up his project file, not physically damaged equipment, right?I mean, yeah, it could get messed up, but not literally FRIED...RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Personally, I think grilled would have been a healthier choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 What's new in 1.7 - or can someone post a link to where this is listed on the C4 web site. On the docs page (http://www.control4.com/products/documentation/) they don't seem to list any 1.7 docs. I don't use C4 for media, just for lights and thermostat. Should I bother upgrading?
