Any software developed in the Basic Edition can be opened and upgraded into the Professional Edition, but not the reverse. So if you develop using the PAC Project Professional Edition, the control software cannot be opened, debugged or modified in the PACProject Basic Edition, even if no professional features were used.   So to avoid any surprises, embarrassing situations or unwanted costs, always ask which edition the end customer wil be using.    Report
