Software Version Number
Software Version Number
Software Version Number is important because it communicates key information about a software’s development stage, stability, and the scale of changes.

In SPIDER, it also represents the date of the updates are made, eg, YYYYMMDD, to give you an idea of when the updates are published.


It is strongly recommended to perform a self SPIDER System Update whenever needed or as advised by the system developer. Ensuring that both HQ and Branches operate on the same version is essential to avoid potential discrepancies in results.
