MDL and upgrading MicroStation from SS3 to SS4

I have a large body of MDL code last compiled and tested in SS3. It is still in pseudocode form. Do I need to recompile in order to upgrade MicroStation from SS3 to SS4? Do I need to convert to nativecode? Can you direct me to any FAQs about making this port? Thanks for any info you can provide.

    But my understanding is that I do have to upgrade to SS4 for Windows 10 certification hence my question.

    Well, the "have to" depends on a situation and specific conditions. I know about users who use V8i SS3 with Windows 10 without any problems and they don't plan to migrate to SS4 simply because IT department don't require an official W10 certification and they also have no immediate need for SS4 new features. On the other hand it's always better to use certified software, at least because of possible discussions with support ;-)

    where it was a challenge just to get their myapp example working

    After several MicroStation and SDK updates the situation has changed a bit now. It's less "it does not work" and more about "what new API class or method should I use". But it's still challenge, depending on an application complexity, because it's not always clear how to use new API.

    With regards,
