Compatibility between the versions

Hi,

I have some questions about the compatibility between different SoapUI versions

1. May I run testcases in SoapUI (free) if I created them in SoapUI Pro before (even if I used special Pro features, like Data Sources)?
2. Same question as 1., but for testrunner.bat?
3. May I run testprojects using testrunner.bat, even if I created them with a lower SoapUI version?
4. Are there any restrictions / known problems when importing projects of older SoapUI versions?

Best regards
Nico

    Hello,

    1. If you use PRO specific features, these will not work in regular soapUI (Open Source). However, you can run them using soapUI PRO in courtesy mode (without a license, or with an expired license).
    2. Same as above, the testrunner.bat included with soapUI PRO can run these tests, and does not require a license.
    3. Probably, but to make sure you may want to open the older project in the newer version of soapUI to make sure there are no problems before you run it using the testrunner.
    4. There is only one major change related to REST projects (betweem 3.0 and 3.5) that may cause problems. Opening the older project in a new version of soapUI should update the project using a wizard if needed.
