If you are using a Magelis HMI (e.g., STU, XBT-GT, XBT-GK series), the internal firmware may need an update to support Vijeo Designer 6.2 features. This is done via a System Card or Firmware Update.
Q: Can I use Vijeo Designer 6.2 to open a project from Vijeo Designer 5.x with only the upgrade reference number? A: No. V5.x projects require a full license purchase (VJDSNDT62F). The upgrade path only supports V6.0 and newer.
Q: Is the reference number the same for multi-user licenses? A: No. For concurrent (network) licenses, the reference number ends with a “N” (e.g., VJDSNDT62UPGN). Consult your network license agreement.
Q: My upgrade reference number was rejected on the portal. What next? A: First, ensure you are on the correct regional activation server (USA, EU, Asia). Second, verify your old version is activated.

Schneider Electric has since released Vijeo Designer 6.2 SP6, EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert (the successor), and EcoStruxure Machine Expert. Vijeo Designer 6.2 is now in maintenance phase – upgrade reference numbers may no longer be sold directly, but existing ones remain valid.
If you are planning a new project, consider migrating to EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert (based on Vijeo Designer but with modern features). Upgrade references for 6.2 are not interchangeable with the new platform.
