compatibility of RTC 3.0.1 client with 4.0 RTC server?
One answer
Hi,
you can keep the 3.0.1 clients, work with them against the 4.0 server and upgrade the clients later.

Client / Server version compatibility
Client N-1 compatibility is supported which means that you can upgrade a server to the next release without the need to upgrade the clients. This backward compatibility applies to the following clients:
- Client for Eclipse IDE
- Client for Microsoft Visual Studio IDE
- SCM command line
- ISPF client
Clients are also compatible across fix packs for a release. When combined with N-1 compatibility, this means that client R will work with all fix packs for server R in addition to server R+1 and all fix packs for server R+1.

Does this also work vice versa? Using the RTC 4.0 client to connect against a 3.1.0.3 server?
My users would love to use the new Windows Explorer integration, but we have many 3.1.0.3 servers and upgrade needs some time.
The server compatibility is N-1, not N+1 ... so RTC 4.0 clients only work against 4. (and 5. when they are released) servers.
