What problem do you see this solving?
It's not the 1990s anymore. Capture One needs a modern update system. This should solve the following issues.
1. I should not need to download a FULL COPY of Capture One in order to update the software. An update package should be enough. This should also be done internally within the program without me needing to go to the website and do it manually. Freeware can get this right. Come on Capture One.
2. I shouldn't need to re-activate (read: go to the website again, deactivate my previous installation, re-enter my serial number). This is first-year programmer stuff. Get it together.
3. Capture One should NOT revert to its default workspace after every update, forcing me to change my settings every single time I update.
This whole process makes me want to not ever update Capture One. It's an absolute pain and could be fixed by a couple of random guys on GitHub. This NEEDS a fix.
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
EVERY SINGLE UPDATE.

This is absolutely a solvable problem if warranted. There are several different possible approaches.
FWIW, I think it's really bad that it just skips files it doesn't know how to import and doesn't tell you anything about the fact that it skipped files and why. That part at a minimum should be fixed. You could lose files this way by thinking they were safely imported and thus you can reuse the card, when in fact they were not.
Oh, well. At least there is a chance to add more files, also containing metadata like "minimal version with support", it's mostly a matter of implementing reader for that metadata as early as possible. One could hope.

EIP is a ZIP file with .eip extension. The raw file inside is the camera original raw file and still unreadable.
My understanding was that EIP is something entirely controlled by Capture One, an internal format, so it could be amended to self-inform about required version. A sort of protocol negotiation.

If my version cannot read a raw file how can it tell me what version of Capture One is needed to support it?
I would amend 13007131304989 with a message telling rather "Some of the imported files are compatible only with version X or later of Capture One", because not always update is possible without a serious cost of a new license.
I would like to add my comments to this feature request to avoid a duplicate post. I work at an agency that deals with a large volume of photography from the Entertainment Key Art industry. Sometimes, we receive EIPs (Enhanced Image Package) files that were created with a newer version of Capture One. Unfortunately, there is no prompt from Capture One informing us that an update is required to open the file properly. The file simply doesn't import. Therefore, I strongly suggest that when fixing the update process, a dialog window should be included to notify users that an update is needed to open these files correctly.
