In the code, it looked something like this:<\/p>\n<p>client.SetProtocol( &#8220;api&#8221;, &#8220;99999&#8221; );<\/p>\n<p>In the absence of better version information, the server logs the API protocol level, or if that&#8217;s not set, the client protocol level. Since 2004.2 p4 always sets the API level to 99999, so it&#8217;s a version of p4 that was built after that, but before they introduced an explicit version string (2005.2). So basically if you see v99999 it&#8217;s either a 2004.2, or 2005.1 p4.<\/p>\n<p>reference:<br \/>\nkb.perforce.com\/article\/512<br \/>\nRegards,<br \/>\nRajesh Kumar<br \/>\nTwitt me @ <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/RajeshKumarIn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">twitter.com\/RajeshKumarIn<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>rajeshkumar created the topic: Perforce client version numbers v99999 The mystery v99999 is an artifact of how older releases of the p4 command line client set the protocol level.
