RTC Client Shell cross version compatibility
![](http://jazz.net/_images/myphoto/f4e752cc82358e242b98c2dbd9c9f052.jpg)
Is the RTC Client Shell forward compatible the with RTC server?
Specifically, is RTC Client Shell 4.0.4 compatible with RTC server 4.0.5?
I doubt that this is true, because I tried to connect to a RTC server 4.0.4 (successfully), and then I tried to connect to a RTC server 4.0.5, but I failed.
Accepted answer

Hi Luca,
According to Client and server version compatibility document RTC Client Shell 4.0.4 is compatible with RTC server 4.0.5.
What is the error message when you are trying to connect to 4.0.5 server from 4.0.4 client?

Krzysztof,
the error message just says that it is impossible to contact the repository.
Now I am going to install SCM shell 4.0.5 and try to connect to the 4.0.5 repository, in order to verify whether it is a network issue or a compatibility issue.

The SCM shell 4.0.5 cannot connect to the 4.0.5 server neither.
Anyway, via browser I am able to connect to the 4.0.5 server.
Are there any shell configurations that I should check?
And what about firewalls? Any other ports to open?
