SQL Server name to Connect to Newer AS

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

My machine consists of 2 versions of AS: 2020 and 2021. 

I was trying to add new parametric profile into the database by accessing the SQL server. 

However, when connected to the server using "(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB" as the Server name, it only connects to the AS 2020. So how do I connect to the databases of the AS 2021?

Any help will be appreciated. 

Thank you.

I'm a long way from a SQL expert, but i know they changed the way Advance connects to the databases in 2021. You need to use:

(localDB)\AdvanceSteel2021

From memory, there were a few articles from Autodesk explaining the changes. Should be an easy search...
