The below version run also for one year and do not have any problem. TWS version = 1016 IBC: Version: 3.8.3

@rlktradewright Thanks your anwser. so why TWS version = 1016 and IBC: Version: 3.8.3 worked? I can not understand this. Is there anything about how to know what min limit TWS version does IBC need to run?

The notes for Release 3.17.0 tell you why: IB changed the format of the Gateway login dialog.

When IB change something like this, IBC has to be updated to cope with the change, hence a new release is needed. Every time a new release is issued, you get informed about it if you're watching the repository. Also I notify the members of the IBC User Group (https://groups.io/g/ibcalpha).

It's your responsibility to keep yourself informed about changes to the software, and I provide full details to enable you to do so, and to decide whether you need to upgrade.
