Versioning of desktop products
In general, the Microsoft’s versioning conventions are being followed. The release of the software is represented with four numbers that indicate a significance or the nature of the software change (major, minor, build and revision): xx.xx.xx.xx
The first and the second number are used as recommended:
- Major: Represents a significant release of the software, involving major changes, new features, or a complete overhaul. Th backward compatibility is not always preserved.
- Minor: Indicates smaller updates or enhancements to the major version. These updates may include new features or improvements while maintaining backward compatibility.
Major and minor numbers are incremental. Commonly, when the Major version number is incremented, the Minor version number is reset to 0.
The last two numbers are used as follows:
- Build: Refers to a specific publishing mechanism of the software.
- 0 Indicates the Internet publishing.
- 1 Indicates the distribution via compressed media. (The installation package to be explicitly downloaded from this page or received otherwise)
- Revision: Is being automatically incremented with each publishing. It may represent minor fixes or patches applied to a specific minor version.

Additional downloads
- The initial content of the “work folder” (a ZIP file). Released on 13-03-2023. Both Reconciler and Soa Browser require a number of supporting files. These must be located (in accordance with a fixed directory structure) in the so-called “work folder”; the location of the folder is a parameter in Settings. The initial content is created by the program itself, immediately after installation, during the first use. If that process fails, you have to create the folder yourself and download its contents, including the directory structure, from here.
- Layer7 Plugin Directory – Plug-in version 12.18.0.0. A ZIP file containing the runtime files of the plugin that processes policy files of the Broadcom Layer7 API Gateway), compatible with Reconciler versions from 12.18.0.0 onwards. Released on 27-11-2025. The Plugins directory is a subdirectory of the “work folder” and is installed automatically during installation of the product.(An experimental self-extracting exe – old version – can be downloaded here)
- The latest version of the web directory (a ZIP file containing the runtime files that support 3D visualizations of Reconciler and SoaBrowser), compatible with versions from 9.4.0.0 onwards.

Additional products
- Backup Comparator (SoaScape Diff) version 12.11.0.2 (a ZIP file). Released on 03-07-2025. – SoaScape Diff is also a “ClickOnce” application, so it has to be installed in the same way as Reconciler and Soa Browser. The online documentation is not a part of the release. The documentation (a ZIP file) has to be separately downloaded from here. Upon downloading, copy the contents into the “DOC” subfolder of the Reconciler’s “work folder“.
- TestAuthentication3 (HTTP Authentication Test Utility) version 2.4.0.0 (a ZIP file). Released on 26-02-2024. – TestAuthentication3 is also a “ClickOnce” application, so it has to be installed in the same way as Reconciler and Soa Browser. This test program is developed for two purposes: a) to test different .NET (C#) programming constructs and b) to enable simple testing of SoaScapeWeb without using more complex API testing tools. TestAuthentication3 is built with .NET 8.0.
.NET 10 and WebView2 may not be available on your computer. In that case, the ‘ClickOnce’ installation process will attempt to download the missing components from download pages of Microsoft.
Regarding ‘WebView2’: In case the ‘ClickOnce’ installation would fail, you would have to load the library manually. Go to the Microsoft’s download page https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/#download-section. On that page, under the heading “Evergreen Standalone Installer” (the middle section) select downloading`X64 version of the installer. A popup will appear: accept the licensing terms of Microsoft (“Accept and Download”). Save the file MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64.exe somewhere on your machine. Subsequently, execute this installer. If you wish that all users of your desktop use the same library, execute the program in the administrator mode (right mouse button …). If the WebView2 library is already installed, the installer will tell you that, and exit. Otherwise, WebView2 library will be installed.
WebView2 is always available on Windows 11 computers.
SoaScape Reports and SoaScape Web
The installation document can be found here. Notice that there is no separate version control because of interdependencies with Reconciler and Soa Browser.

SoaScapeWeb.zip contains executable files and your browser will likely complain about it. You may add this site to the respective policy of the browser. Here is an excerpt from the Microsoft’s documentation for Edge:
In order to solve this problem, you need to use the matching policy: InsecureContentAllowedForUrls. It is used to create a list of URL patterns to specify sites that can display or download insecure mixed content (HTTP content on HTTPS sites). Located under this path: Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Content settings. For more details, please refer to this docment: Learn about Microsoft Edge and mixed content downloads.
Other Downloads

Mainly intended for new users who want to get acquainted with the product. The English version has also been used for making Soa Browser instructions videos.
- The tutorial ArchiMate model (a ZIP file) derived from the EA model of The Association of Netherlands Municipalities (VNG), GEMMA 2. All Application Components and Application Services of the original model are removed, so it is suitable for experimenting with importing SoaScape models into Enterprise Architecture modeling tools.
