Jyoti Rani Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 I have old version 3.4.2 on the website. I need to upgrade it to latest version. Can I get the older version of the Invision community to do research. As i am unable to unencrypt the existing encrypted files.
Randy Calvert Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 IPS does not make old versions available. Only the latest versions of the software can be downloaded.
Marc Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 Its worth nothing that we have not provided that version or even supported it for over a decade also

But I am facing issue in upgrading my current site. I have older version of the site. Some file are encrypted. I don't have their original script. So, i cant set it up on my local machine. So, i was thinking that, if i can setup older version on my local and get the things done. The Only solution left with me is to bring live site down. and Need to upgrade on live. Which is not the correct way. As you guys are not supporting the older versions now. There is possibility that i loose up ending my live site down. And i loose my clients. Can you suggest me some ways or scenarios to do so? Can invision provide same license to be run on dev enviornment? 2 hours ago, Randy Calvert said: IPS does not make old versions available.

You don't need the old version, if by old version you mean the files for the version that you are using. You can do a dry run of the upgrade, or a trial upgrade if you will, without disrupting your live forum by duplicating your main live forum to a test folder or a subdomain and proceed with upgrading that to the latest version and see how things will go. If you do that, you won't need to decrypt anything. That being said, can you please elaborate a little more about the issues that you have been facing as per your post quoted below? 2 hours ago, Jyoti Rani said: But I am facing issue in upgrading my current site.
