Creating expandable ads with v201605 version

[Justinas Ringaila]

Hi, 

As Josh stated in this announcement [Google Ads Developer Blog] Announcing v201607 of the AdWords API

"creation of ExpandedTextAds was only supported in test accounts." Does this mean that we can only create Expanded text ads using v201607? Because we managed to create them using v201605 .net drivers version (we are not using test Account)

Hi Justinas,

Although v201607 version allows you to create Expanded Text Ads in production accounts, same functionality was available in the previous version (v201605) too. Only that you could not use the v201605 expanded text ads on production accounts until the release of v201607. As a side note, although v201605 has the required functionality, it is already deprecated. I would recommend moving to v201607 at your earliest convenience.
