As customers are upgrading from exSILentia v3 to exSILentia v4, a common question we receive is what the impact will be on exSILentia v3 projects. Well, exSILentia v3 project can easily be opened in exSILentia v4. Upon opening the v3 project will automatically be upgraded to the v4 project format. But what happens behind the scenes? Is there any impact to existing data/project information? This webinar will address changes made to exSILentia and the potential impact on v3 projects.
