Functional License Check

If your application/site is not appropriately licensed, CreateVersion can return an error of FDO_E_NO_OPERATION_LICENSE.

Remarks

The CreateVersion method allows you to create new version from the existing IVersion. The new version is a child of the current version and is owned by the connected user. The version name is limited to 64 characters and is private by default.

Creating a new version requires an existing version to be the parent of the new version. When the new version is created, the parent and child versions are identical.
