Hi, You can check required AR version from Automation studio software Upgrade option. The Upgrades window can be opened by selecting **Tools / Upgrades** from the main menu. Check details on: [https://help.br-automation.com/assets/images/content\_copy.svg](https://help.br-automation.com/assets/images/content_copy.svg) ---

Hello, I think you may refer to AR V3.06 which is supplied with the Installation of AS 3.0.81. The Upgrade “AS3.0\_AR\_V0306\_PP400.exe” can be found in the Directory “\Setups\AddOn” after unziping the Download. Because of this circumstance it is asumed that it is always available on an pc after installation and is not provided via the download mechanism. [[Automation Studio V3.0.81 | B&R Industrial Automation](https://www.br-automation.com/de-de/downloads/software/automation-studio/automation-studio-3081/automation-studio-v3081/)](AS 3.0.81 Download ) If you mean an other Upgrade please provide the full information with an “Letter” to indicate a special version. ---

The Version “AS3.0\_AR\_V0300\_PP400.exe” is part of the Installation of AS\_3.00.80.0025 Unfortunately this version is no longer in the B&R Download available. If you have access to a local installation copy, you can get it from there. “\Setups\AddOn” If you don’t have access you can ask your local B&R Sales to provide it (Standard procedure in such a case), or give me a Personal Message with your Mail contact. ---

I asume you got my mail by now?

I do not think that B&R will change the puplic availability of such an “old” version. It will still be available by request to B&R by Sales or Support. Or did the mail not reachout to you?

> [@michael.bertsch](#): > > I do not think that B&R will change the puplic availability of such an “old” version. It will still be available by request to B&R by Sales or Support. It would be good to have the old versions available as well. We have a lot of plants in operation with old Automation Studio versions like AS 2.7 which are not easily upradeable, same with AS 3.x Projects with Safe Designer projects. We even have at least one plant I am aware of running with the B&R Multicontrol (ok, I would not expect to find downloads for Prosys, but at least for all Windows related software). I noticed a couple weeks aga that the upgrade downloads in AS 2.7 are not working anymore, which makes it pretty complicated to install the AS on a new virtual machine and get it ready for an old AS project. Why got many downloads removed which were available before? ---

Hi Michael, I understand your thinking but honestly no one is keeping all old versions of sw installation, upgrades, etc on their webpage. There is a lot of cons and pros for that. Make no sense to discuss it here. But do not worry, you can always ask local B&R office support and they will provide you old version ---
