will depend on what the release notes says as required on teh contivity
server. However I am assuming since you were using a 4.15 client that
you may be low enough version of server code that an upgrade may be
necessary for the 6_07.007 client.
Most of the time the server needs to be at least the version or higher
than the client versions.
