Each copy of the software should be identifiable from its version number. The version number is made up of four sets of characters separated by full stops (for example, 1.2.34.SocialEnterprise).
The position of each figure signifies a particular meaning:
| 1st set of characters = | Overall main edition of the software |
| 2nd set of characters = | Major developments within each edition |
| 3rd set of characters = | Minor developments within each edition (like ‘build number’) |
| 4th set of characters = | Specifics not related to development such as branded versions, social enterprise or co-operative or social audit versions |
The Tool Factory LLP will assign version numbers to each release of Business Plan Writer using the above methodology.
