The check between Studio and Evolve has always been enforced. However, I was able to connect to Evolve 24.1 with Studio 25.1. So it seems the checks were removed. But we will always recommend Studio and Evolve versions to be in sync as soon as it's possible.

We usually upgrade to all new versions, but this time were not able to upgrade to 25.0.
The reason was that Studio has introduced a check that it can only connect to exactly same version, and when I installed Studio 25 on my laptop, it was not able to connect to our Evolve 24 server. I am not sure why this check was introduced and how it is possible to do upgrade of all users and all servers overnight to avoid negative impact in a global environment.
I have raised a ticket and was told that they will consider removing this check in 25.1, but nothing confirmed yet. We raised this with our sales representative as well.

Just wanted to share some information that may help customers in their decision-making process. As of today, we've had less than 20 Evolve customers upgrade and none have opened support cases. If you were thinking of taking advantage of the SAP Data API or Digital Access APIs, we would recommend Studio Manager and Evolve customers upgrade to 25.0. If you were considering taking advantage of the Studio Fiori app or GUI for HTML automation or using SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud, then we would recommend you consider the 25.1 release which is targeted for availability by end of June since there are further improvements and new capabilities coming that support automating using those SAP clients. Additionally, there were hundreds of Studio with Connect customers who migrated to Studio with Studio Administrator and some of them had Studio deployment/upgrade issues that were resolved in the 25.0 release so if you concern is more about the Studio upgrade, then 25.0 is the recommended version to consider upgrading to.

I know the Automate 25.0 GA release | Automate Product Announcements has just been released. Just wondering if anyone in the forum has updated or has plans to update? I would like to hear hour experience as part of our decision whether or not to update at this time.
