If you are using VersaMax Micros with 64 points, it may be time to consider migrating to Proficy Machine Edition as VP is now considered obsolete. Reach out to your local distributor to inquire about potential upgrade discounts. Special pricing and incentive programs may be available for transitioning to Machine Edition, which was introduced over fifteen years ago.

Unfortunately, it seems that this project is coming to an end as I cannot afford new programming software. However, I am determined to search for an alternative plc that is compatible with my current software. I appreciate the assistance provided.

A budget-friendly option of Proficy Machine Edition is available, specifically designed for use with VersaMax Micro and Nano products. This version was previously priced at a lower cost, making it a cost-effective choice for users. For more information, please reach out to your authorized distributor.

Thank you for the information, but I have decided to sell the PLC I currently own on eBay. I will then proceed to purchase a PLC that is compatible with my software. It is important for me to keep costs low for my customers, which is why I may not consider using a GE Micro PLC again in the future.

Bom dia! Gostaria de saber como modificar o alcance de um sinal de entrada analógica no software VersaPro.

Hey there, I understand your struggle. Upgrading from VersaPro 2.0 could be a bit complex due to outdated support. However, have you considered using Proficy Machine Edition?

You could also search for retail sites or auction pages like eBay for secondhand software.

Lastly, you may also consider checking with automation professionals in forums like this or on LinkedIn, someone might have the VersaPro version you need and would be willing to help out.

Hey there! I believe getting an upgrade might indeed fix your compatibility issue. However, you may want to consider contacting GE directly to ensure you get the most appropriate solution. They were extremely helpful when I encountered a similar issue. Alternatively, you can also check out independent distributors like eBay or Amazon for the upgrade CD. Make sure to verify the seller's reliability before purchasing though!

It sounds like you're dealing with quite the challenge!
