Is there a cap on the number of major and minor version allow for SharePoint? (From what I know, a single major version can have a cap of 511 minor version (draft version).)

I was thinking in this way - the major version will depend on how much storage space you have. If the document is 5 MB and your space is 500 MB, then the max cap on the number of major version allow is 100, am I right to assume in this way?– Wilson TanCommented Sep 9, 2011 at 6:49

1Yes, you are right in that regard since each version is a copy of the file.– Eric AlexanderCommented Sep 9, 2011 at 12:12

From SharePoint Server 2010 capacity management: Software boundaries and limits
Major versions - 400,000 - Supported - If you exceed this limit, basic file operations—such as file open or save, delete, and viewing the version history— may not succeed.

Thanks Vedran, by using your link, I checked that for SharePoint 2007 (technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/…), there was not a clear define of the max limit of Major version except that it mention if versioning is enable for document library, all versions will count towards site quota.

Please in future include SP version in question when you ask this kind of questions. It makes it lot easier to help you. Commented Sep 9, 2011 at 8:00

Hi Vedran, sure, not a problem. But anyway, the information you provided is useful as my company is also thinking of migrating to SharePoint 2010. Commented Sep 9, 2011 at 8:10
