<h3 id="environment-item-2">If permissions are incomplete</h3>

<p>Repair Permissions only adds the current account to the local Siemens TIA Openness group and requests administrator elevation. If elevation is cancelled, the group is missing, or the command fails, permissions do not change.</p>

<h3 id="environment-item-3">TIA Portal and project versions</h3>

<p>The Mingcedar Scan build, installed TIA Portal, and Openness API must be compatible. Projects must be V14 or later and no newer than the selected TIA installation. Older projects can use its upgrade API if the migration path is supported. Migrate pre-V14 projects first. V21 projects require the V21 build and matching Openness installation. Check the package version notes.</p>
