What about moving forward to V5?

• Client side impact
• No changes to addressing of tags/devices
• OPC ProgID Change
• V4 SWToolbox.TOPServer
• V5 SWToolbox.TOPServer.V5
• Remove/Redirect allows V4 ProgID to point to V5
  w/o any client changes!
• Suitelink/DDE Application Name
• V4 Servermain V5 Server_runtime

Great for testing and trying out V5 while still
using V4!
Upgrade without having to make any OPC client
changes
