Are you familiar with the Cadence utility "switch release"? It should come with your 16.3 installation and should be available in the start menu.
Please run that and check if there's an option to set the release to 16.3.
Thanks, JC

- Hi JC, I am using Windows 7 and I could not find "Cadence Switch Release" Command at Start Folder. Please let me know where "Cadence Switch Release" Command is located at Windows 7. BR, Ahnse Lee
- Hi Ahnse, If you don't see it in the start menu, the name of switch release executable is switchversion.exe and it should be present at \tools\bin\switchversion.exe.
