Invalid assembly versions with 2014.R1

Question

Hello,

I'm getting the following build warning after upgrading. This might be due to the different version numbers in the Ftp and SecureMail libraries.

Hello,

with more than one Rebex component in a project, you have to use the same version of the assemblies. So if one of your support contract is expired (I was unable to check your support contracts, as your email address cannot be found in our system), a renewal might be needed here in order to get the latest version of assemblies for both components.

You might also check the checklist for upgrading to newer version of Rebex assemblies.

Oh, I see. Rebex File Transfer Pack for .NET has not yet been released in version 2014R1, am I right? Since I'm using Rebex Secure Mail for .NET and Rebex File Transfer Pack for .NET simultaneously.

No, we have released all Rebex components in 2014R1 version. This is a standard practice.

So are you using latest 2014R1 version of both Rebex File Transfer Pack for .NET and Rebex Secure Mail for .NET? If yes, please follow these instructions to make sure the references are all right:

Steps to replace old version with newer version:

1. Remove the references to the old version dlls from your project.
2. Replace old version dlls with the new version dlls.
3. Add references to the new dll files to your project.
4. Recompile your project.
