Current Arena® Version

Arena® 12.0 (CPR 9) is the current version (since 2008). CPR designates the Rockwell Software wide Coordinated Product Release version.
Arena® 13 will be released during spring 2009.

You can check your version by selecting Help - About Arena... in Arena®. If you want to determine the Arena Version used for creating a given .doe (or .tpl, .tpo) file, you can use our program ArenaVersion (34kB) (tested with Arena 3.5 to 8.01). We offer no warranty of any kind and the program only works form the command prompt; but the C sourcecode is included so you can improve it...
