Hi,
I have the Bentley Hammer V8i (SELECT series 6) version (08.11.06.113). I received a model from the Client that is saved in HAMMER Connect Edition Update 1 (10.01.00.72) and I cannot open it. I was wondering if you could please point me in the right direction where to get the updated version of Bentley Hammer.
Thank you,
Marketa
Hello Marketa,
Once the model is saved in higher version of Hammer it cannot be directly opened in the older version. However you can export the model from Connect edition version into EPANET format then it can be imported into older SS6 version. Or if you are exporting model in shapefiles format then it can be imported in older version through Modelbuilder.
This conversion process is mentioned in below wiki, please go through it.

- Is the upgrade free as part of the software maintenance package or will there be an additional cost?
Latest version of Hammer is 10.01.01.04 and your company is having ELS contract, meaning you can always download the latest versions with no extra cost.
