The drive firmware version is newer than the Drive ES release.
V5.7 is certified to work only with STEP 7 versions up to and including V5.7 HF3 (Hotfix 3) . User reports from the Siemens community forums indicate significant functional issues, particularly when opening integrated DriveMonitor projects, on later hotfix versions (HF4 or SP1). While the exact root cause is debated, the official Siemens support statement is that this is a known limitation that will not be fixed. Therefore, if your STEP 7 environment is V5.7 SP1 or later, you should not attempt to install Drive ES Basic V5.7, as it may corrupt or fail to open your drive projects.
