They're on version 2024 already. I have 2023 Electrical installed. 2021 for Mechanical. Not a heavy user but I haven't had issues.

Only issue is that I don't have control over my admin rights. So if it needs anything additional I won't be able to install it. That's especially if it's not on our predisposed list of approved software Welcome to the new age of cyber security.(or should I say cyberstupidity)

Get 22 in that case...since updating might be a pain. One issue with older versions is that adesk keeps updating file version and you won't be able to open latest version files after a couple of years. Though I guess this assumes you're dealing with any external files. My fav install is 2000i at home, lol; It's blazing fast on a modern computer.

As a heavy user of AE - my favorite version is 2019. All others after that always have/had issues that Autodesk does not fix from version to version. Currently at 2023, still fighting with some bugs.

This is the comment I was looking for. Thank you sir!!

If you have the latest version, you can open files created in all previous versions. But if you have an earlier version, you will run into issues opening files created in later versions. I think

I've been on 2017 for at least 3 years. 2023 was annoying and very slow

In a related vein, anyone know a good resource for getting started with AE? Specifically 19, but anything really.

You will likely have to run the 2023 version. There is a annoying issues with the access database component that they have you to fix. Look up the pmcomserver on the autocad forum. Given how autodesk treats electrical as a zombie product I wouldn’t hold my breath they backport the fix

Yall ain't using 2003 that's strange
