For this reason, installing a newer version alongside V9 may cause temporary loss of access to V9 plugins on systems that support both versions.

To run V9 side by side with a newer version, please install version 9.92.

Software versions earlier than 9.92 cannot co-exist with software versions above V10.

To check if a plugin exists in an older version, scroll to the bottom of the older version's download page.

Current version licenses will activate older version software (V9 and above), if the product/s in question exists in this software version.
