Support for Prior Vault Clients and Add-Ins

The Vault 2023 Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS) supports the use of any Vault 2022 and Vault 2021 clients that match the Vault edition of ADMS.

The Vault 2023 ADMS supports the use of any Vault 2022 and Vault 2021 release Add-Ins.

It is not recommended that you administer Vault Settings or Global Settings using a client of a prior release version. Administration of Vault Settings and Global Settings should be done using an ADMS Console or Vault client of the same release as the target Vault server.

New functionality available in Vault 2023 is not available in prior releases of Vault clients and Add-Ins.

Some functionality in a Vault 2023 client may not work when only an older version of the CAD application is installed or if an older version of the CAD application was last run. Installing and running the 2023 version of the CAD application and/or 2023 components (e.g., Inventor View, Trueview, etc.) and retrying the operation may resolve the issue.

Note: The third-party Vault add-in (Client side) must be on the same version as the Vault Server version.
