Compatibility with .NET-Framework 4.5.2?

[RuVVersicherung]

Microsoft will end it's support for .NET-Framework < 4.5.1 in January 2016. At that time, 4.5.2 only will be supported.

Will AutoCAD LT 2013 be compatible to this Framework? If no, what solution should be done?

Despite that: will DWG TrueView and DesignReview be compatible with .NET-Framework 4.5.2?

LT2013 updated from Autodesk ended already, well a few years back, so that news is irrelevant to R2013 sadly.

Old software will still need old .NET variants, which will still be around at Microsoft to download. This applies to R2013.

DesignReview (ADR) development stopped in the year 2012. Same as R2013, no updates needed.

DTV (TrueView) updates with AutoCAD (currently in 2016 versions) and will likely move along with Microsoft in 2017 versions and so on if Autodesk decide to do so.

Right.  "End of support" is not the same as "cease to exist".  The main consideration is the supported operating system - if the program runs on the specified OS then the required frameworks will be available.  For example, older versions of AutoCAD that depend on the dotNET Frameworks v2.0 are not supported on newer operating systems which only have the more recent versions; however, they are supported under WinXP (which some are still running) and continue to operate.

Thank you for your helpful respone.

In our case we try to prevent using software out of support.

We are using AutoCAD LT 2013, Design Review 2013 as well as DWG TrueView 2013.

So, last question: what (installable) latest versions of AutoCAD LT, Design Review and DWG TrueView exist and have to be used instead?

[pendean · Accepted solution]

AutoCAd LT is now up to version 2016. Same with Trueview.
DesignReview stopped being developed back in the year 2012 so it's version is stuck at 2013.

Why don't you contact a reseller in your region and have all of these discussions with them and get pricing/support options as well http://www.autodesk.com/resellers/locate-a-reseller

We are now updating our systems to AutoCAD LT 2016, as well as DWG TrueView 2016.

In addition to my first question we now will update our .NET-Framework on our client from 4.5.2 to 4.6.1.

Are AutoCAD LT 2016 and DWG TrueView 2016 compatible to this version?

[pendean]

.NET4.5.2 is required on the PC: if you just added 4.6.1. that's fine, if you removed 4.5.2. then you wil have to remove the newer one, install the older one, then put the new one back.

Read this, find the .NET section, it applies to Win7, Win8 and WIn10 equally when it comes to .NET4.6 https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Windows-10-support-for-A...

As far as Microsoft mentions ist, the upgrade from 4.5.2 to 4.6.1 will be done as a so called inplace-upgrade.

So the old version won't be deinstalled - does this match your reply?

[pendean]

Look it up on your PC: Control Panel's Programs and find out for sure instead of reading about it elsewhere.

Good luck.
