The latest version of the Synthesis API is Version 10.0.4
Before you upgrade to the latest version of the ReliaSoft API, review what's new and what has changed since the last version. The latest version may have introduced some code-breaking changes, requiring you to make changes to your code before upgrading.  




Before upgrading to the latest version, review what's new and what has changed since the last version. This page provides a quick overview of the most significant enhancements and deprecations since the previous versions.
'''How to get the latest version of the ReliaSoft API object library file'''


When you're ready to upgrade, first install the latest version of Synthesis on your computer. The Synthesis API object library file will be located in the folder where the Synthesis application is installed. You can then update the library reference of your custom applications to point to the file in that location. For VBA applications, use '''SynthesisAPI.tlb'''. For .NET applications, use '''SynthesisAPI.dll'''
The object library file is located in the folder where the ReliaSoft applications are installed. By default, this folder is at "C:\Program Files\ReliaSoft\ReliaSoft 2019".  


To get the latest version of the file, choose '''File > Help > Check for Updates''' or download the latest software update from [https://support.hbmprenscia.com HBM Prenscia Support Portal]. You may need to to update the library reference of your custom applications to point to the location of the object library file. For VBA applications, use the ReliaSoftAPI19.tlb file. For .NET applications, use the ReliaSoftAPI19.dll file.

Before you upgrade to the latest version of the ReliaSoft API, review what's new and what has changed since the last version. The latest version may have introduced some code-breaking changes, requiring you to make changes to your code before upgrading.


How to get the latest version of the ReliaSoft API object library file

The object library file is located in the folder where the ReliaSoft applications are installed. By default, this folder is at "C:\Program Files\ReliaSoft\ReliaSoft 2019".
