I did some preliminary testing of building and executing surveys on a local server. Now we're evaluating using Lime Survey SaaS to host our surveys.

When importing as .lss file this shows up:

The database structure in 4.x is different, thus Surveys are not downward compatible. You can import LSS files created in 3.x into 4.x. But you can't import files created in 4.x into 3.x.

For any productive work I would currently recommend to use LS 3.x LTS anyway.
