Converting projects from existing CMC versions

When opening a project or a component, Expert checks the existing CMC version. If the CMC
version of the project to be opened is earlier than the installed CMC version, Expert converts
the project and the internally and externally linked components.
If a project was created with an incompatible version, you cannot open the project. The "*.upz"
project versions as well as the package version and status of Expert, e.g. Preliminary, are
specified.
The conversion is only started after a confirmation prompt, which the user must confirm.
The confirmation prompt also specifies the CMC version that was used to create the project
to be opened and allows the creation of bak files before the conversion.
The "*.bak" backup files can be deleted subsequently via the "Tools" > "Convert" > "Delete
backup files (*.bak)" main menu.
We recommend that each project be manually backed up or archived with all of the associated
internal and external components before the conversion. We also recommend that a
conversion is performed only from the previous to the current CMC version. Do not skip any
CMC versions.

Conversion

Projects that were created with the versions SCI version 2.6, CMC version 4.4 / 4.5 or

Packages that were created with these versions cannot be converted during direct import.
