Ensure that users upgrade their Unity Version Control (UVCS) clients correctly.
The UVCS server can reject clients that are older than the current version of the server.
To force a given build number, add the
ForceBuildNumberMatch
key to your
server.conf
file. This key admits the following values:

Value

Description

true
Requires exact build number matching so that any client or server that connects to the server must run exactly the same version.
false
Doesn't require a version match. This is the default value.
<number>
Rejects any connections from callers that run a version with a build number smaller than the
number
. For example,
<ForceBuildNumberMatch>800</ForceBuildNumberMatch>
means the server accepts any version equal to or larger than
800
.
