The following problem has been identified in the SOLIDWORKS® PDM File Version Upgrade Tool provided with SOLIDWORKS PDM 2018, 2019 SP0 through SP4, and 2020 SP0.

This problem may result in assemblies referencing incorrect configurations of components (parts or subassemblies).

SOLIDWORKS PDM 2019 SP5 (available now) and SOLIDWORKS 2020 SP1 (available early in year 2020) contain the correction to prevent new occurrences of the problem.
