Details of KNX versions and compatibility which is good to keep a note of!

(XML Version)

 

ETS 5.6 (XML v14) 4.3.x1..5 March 2018

ETS 5.7 (XML v20) 3.8.7 / 4.4.7 / 4.7.7 / 4.8.7 May 2019

ETS 6  (XML v21) 4.10.9.4 / 4.11.9.4 / 4.12.9.x May 2022

ETS 6.2.1 (XML v23) 4.10.9.18 / 4.13.9.16 / 4.14.2 June 2024

The newer ets versions 6.3+ didn't make any changes to the ProjectFile schema so also work with the latest drivers.

 

Niagara 4.12 is no-longer supported so the latest drivers from the Software portal ought to get you to ets 6.1, but upgrade to latest versions for continued support (Currently 4.14u2, 4.15u1).

 

Other problems that stop the project importing:

-Ets password protected projects can't be imported, solution is to save the project without a password.

-Ets projects containing non-utf8 characters can't be imported unless you select non-default codepage as follows (in 4.13u3):
