AX2012 R3 | Issue while upgrade code | axmodel is from a newer version and cannot be installed

I found an issue while upgrade AX 2012 R3 code to the latest CU (6.3.6000.8.144).

https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/dynamics365/no-audience/2012/03/29/overview-of-microsoft-dynamics-ax-build-numbers/?source=axsupport






However while I upgrading the binary(kernel) and application, I got the error.

The model file C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Dynamics AX\Package\2019-05-14 13-57-20\GranularModels\DynamicsAX2012R3_CL4581239.axmodel is from a newer version of Microsoft Dynamics AX (version 6.3.6000.6863) and cannot be installed.

Reason
The reason is I originally launched the axupdate.exe from the older KB. In this case, It is KB4032175 (or CU13).
**I launch from KB4032175 instead, because KB4492767 file consists only binary(Kernel) update.

However, in the updating processes, I found the newer update, so I chose the newer one. That caused the above trouble.

Solution
So choose only the CU version that matches to the axupdate version, then the issue is resolved.

Until the next post!
