Hi All,

I'm trying to understand why I get different versions for each environment I create and what are the implications. For example if I create an extension in one environment and then copy it across or if I have to copy production environment over to Sandbox. When creating a new environment, the drop down for version only had one choice.

I have the same question (0)

RE: BC versions and environments

Hello

Hope these infos will answer your question.

Your environment has not yet updated to the latest minor update of the previous version of Business Central. All environments must be updated to the last available minor update of the previous version of Business Central before they can be scheduled to be updated to the next major version. You can check the version information in the Troubleshooting section of the Help and Support page in Business Central as well as in the Version Management section in Business Central administration center. For more information, see Version numbers in Business Central.

Microsoft is actively working on updating all environments to the latest minor update as soon as possible. In most cases, your environment will be scheduled for the major update soon, and you'll get a chance to change the date to the one that fits you better. In the unlikely situation that your environment is updated to the last minor update around or even after the last selectable update date, you'll still get a least seven days to schedule the update.

You have just created a new sandbox environment as a copy of your production environment. In this case, the sandbox environment is created on the same version as the production environment it was copied from. If your newly created sandbox environment is running on the last minor update of the previous version, Microsoft will schedule it for update automatically within one hour.
