How to install a previous version of Swing Catalyst

This support article describes how to install a previous version of Swing Catalyst.

If you’re a beta user and wish to install the previous stable version:

  • Please uncheck uncheck “allow beta versions”after having installed the previous version.

When you roll back to an older software version, it may not be able to read a database that the newer version updated. If so, it shows a Database Not Supported message. Click Load Backup to choose a database backup to load, or Exit to close the program. With every major release, e.g. 9.8 -> 10.0, 10.0 -> 10.1 there is a change in the database version. This means any recordings made with the newer version won’t be available in the old version. If you have important recordings you wish to save or make a back up of we strongly recommend exporting these before rolling back the software.

Therefor it’s important to take this into consideration when wanting to roll back the software version.
