aPriori Professional 2023 R1 SP1 provides certified support for recent versions of various CAD formats and provides compatible Cost in aPriori plug-ins to integrate a supported CAD system with either aPriori Professional (for aPriori on-premise deployments) or aP Design (for aPriori Cloud deployments):
-
aPriori Professional – For aPriori On-Premise deployments.
-
aP Design – For aPriori Cloud deployments.
For a complete and up-to-date listing of all versions of supported CAD systems, Operating Systems, Database platforms, and Graphics Cards and Drivers, consult the 2023 R1 SP1 versions of the aPriori On-Premise System Requirements documentation and the Cloud System Requirements documentation.
If your company is planning to upgrade to a CAD, database, or operating system version that is NOT listed in the System Requirements, contact aPriori Customer Support.
aPriori Professional 2023 R1 SP1 includes these updates to platform support and CAD support:
Operating Systems
Pending Support for Windows 11
aPriori currently is performing certification of the aPriori Professional 2023 R1 release stream for use on Windows 11 operating systems, and will publish when this certification is completed.
This Windows 11 certification is not yet complete as of the initial SP1 release date (mid-June 14, 2023). However, it is expected to be available by aPriori 2023 R1 SP2 in September 2023 and potentially sooner. Consult the online version of the 2023 R1 SP1 aPriori On-Premise System Requirements, because it will be updated after this certification is complete.

Updates to CAD Version Support Policy and Pending De-Support List
aPriori is updating our CAD version support policy and practices and will no longer test, certify, or build Cost-in-aPriori plug-ins for older CAD versions.
Historically aPriori has provided support and Cost-in-aPriori plug-ins for both recent and older versions of CAD systems, including many which are past “End of Life.”
aPriori will soon publish a revised policy that reduces the number of versions supported for each CAD system. Candidates for desupport include those listed below, and may include additional versions based on surveyed customer usage. If your company uses a CAD version in the listed candidates for desupport, or any version which has already reached the CAD vendor End of Life date, please notify your aPriori account team or aPriori Support
Candidates for desupport include:
• Creo 6 and earlier versions
• Catia V5-6 R2018 and earlier versions
• NX 1926 and earlier versions
• SolidWorks 2019 and earlier versions
• Autodesk Inventor 2019 and earlier versions
• SolidEdge ST11 and earlier versions
