CM5 program with a headless HMI?

I created a program for the CM5 (C-more 8.10) and I want to also use a headless HMI like the EA9 with the same program, can I convert the program to run on it? If I had made the program for the EA9 (C-more 6.75) it looks like I could have then converted it over to run on the CM5 but perhaps not the other way around? Is it expected that a CM5 headless HMI may become available in the future?

    Also on the conversion, it's not "painless". The resolution is obviously higher, and EVERY SINGLE font size has to be changed...or it has for me, in the sizes I have used. Rule of thumb is double the font size. I always use the largest font that will fit the application on the original project. Doubling them makes it fairly easy, and small tweaks after that. Time consuming is the only issue.
