Hi Rob

11.5.3 works well in most environments. However if you want, you can go through the release notes of the versions and see what fits best in your environment.

Yours must be qa VIPRION and ideally both are supported in the 2000 series. So it is just a matter of choosing what is best for you.

Thanks for the quick reply. Was wondering if I should always use the latest version or not. Thanks again.

Yes. Its not really good all the time to use the latest ones as they might push you into newer bugs. Better to use a enterprise accepted version.
