Your database and software must both be of the same version.
**To check the software version:**
Open the software, and select "Help" from the toolbar, then "About". This will open a new window, which will detail very clearly the version (refer below, circled in red).
*If you can't open the software:* You should still find that LeaseControl tries to open, and the first window that is generated before the software would ordinarily open, is the same screen as detailed above.
**To check the database version**
*Only SQL professionals should be accessing the database through SQL Management Studio. It is critical that you do not edit any data contained with the database.*
You will need to access the database via SQL Management Studio, ordinarily from the server on which it is hosted.
Expand the tables and look for "dbo.LMS_SYSOPT_SystemOption". If you "select top 1000 rows" and look for "DatabaseVersion" in the table (refer below, highlighted in yellow).
