Is there a way to upgrade a project that has one legato version, without having to recreate the project with the newer/different Legato version? ---

Hi @EvetsMostel my guess is that you’re working with DS, right? If so, you can go to the project properties (from righ-click menu), then **Legato Application** page, and then pick another choice in the **Target Platform** drop-down list. It is recommended to clean the project after switching the TP configuration. ---

Ah… Thanks @daav! Somehow I missed that, and kept looking in the drop down sections.
