Out of sheer curiosity, assume I have two PCs (A and B), PC-A has Labview 2023 and PC-B has Labview 2017, I have developed a Network Stream Host & Target code on PC-A, then I saved the Target VI to save for previous version in order to run it with PC-B, now if I try my Target and Host VI will connection be established or no?

LabVIEW

Network Stream across different Labview versions

I'm confused now because so of response say it should and some day it shouldn't work. Can anyone please try it on two different systems using different version?

We initially guessed it would work (as you indicated it was just out of curiosity).

Than we tested and it doesn't work.

Than there where explanations why our initial guesses where wrong.

If it doesn't work between 2 versions on one system, it's not going to work on 2 versions on 2 systems.

Why don't you try it? Simply open the mentioned example, and run target on one system and host on the other. You can even try building executables, but if source doesn't work I don't see why the executables will (although vice versa is another story).
