Trying to revert back to version 3.x.x.x

#1 Post by jgmdesigns » 16 Sep 2021, 03:09

Hello,
Beena while since I posted here, but I am having an issue that I am totally stuck on.

Somehow, after months of inactivity with DipTrace I started the software up this morning and it's running version 4.xx. I have a license for 3.x.x.x but I cannot afford the $$ to upgrade right now so I uninstalled DipTrace from my PC, and downloaded version 3.x.x.x and installed that. I registered the software using my license, but when I launch the software and look for parts in the library, it gives me an error that the library is for version 4.x and I have to upgrade.

What?

I found a download from teh DipTrace site of old libraries, but no instructions on how to get the files where they need to go

Any suggestions? I am under a tight deadline here.

Thanks
Jim

EDIT:
I think I got it!
Delete the Lib folder from my DipTrace Directory
Copy the Lib_3.X folder into my Diptrace Folder
Rename teh Lib_3.x to Lib
Restart Diptrace
And it looks like it works

Is this correct?

The uninstaller should remove 4.x libraries, it's strange that it kept them. Anyway, you downloaded and restored 3.x libraries correctly.
