It should be possible, but without checking directly, it's hard to say:
For example, your host might have automatically upgraded to a newer PHP version (8.0+), and your current Invision Community version is not compatible with it if it's old enough. In this case, downgrading the PHP version on the server, or upgrading to the latest version will get the site working again. Instead, if the database is broken (missing tables/data or corrupt tables), you'd need a working backup to get it working again. In this case, an upgrade won't solve anything.  
Are you getting a specific error when trying to login into the ACP? It could be anything without more info. 🤷‍♂️

There was a paid modification from DevFuse for this, but it's not available anymore. The developer has recently gone missing. You'll need someone to make a new modification for you. 🤷‍♂️
 
EDIT:
I take that back. Looks like Adriano made a new modification for it already: https://www.invisioneer.org/files/file/220-disable-friendly-number-format/

No worries! Glad you were able to get it updated 🙂 

Thank you Jim.
Silly to ask really I suppose as that was the only logical answer. Had this been 3x or 2x which I know -very- well inside out I'd of never had to ask. Just time was short so a quick topic, (perhaps my 2nd 'support' one in a decade) was worthwhile, certainly posted a lot of info in the past.
 
So yes I did the bypass (and yes I removed it aka the "MD5 Check" immediately after)
 
Had the site not been broken I'd of been able to look at this next weekend to simply try a few ideas on a localhost test of it.
There is a small issue a white page however nothing in logs either in webroot or in the system itself that I see, but its not a big issue at this moment in time. I'll get back to that one as it concerns ACP removal of CMS. Something for a new topic later.

This is realistically the only option while the system is in it's current state. Even disabling one of our applications, the upgrader will still tell you that you need to grab the files if it sees it installed.
Once you tell the system to bypass the file check, the system would detect that you do not have the current release's files for any of those applications loaded on the file system and thus skip it.

7.0 also hasn’t been supported for a while for anyone curious. 7.1 was minimum with 7.3 recommended. 
This is for anyone curious about current version. 

It does this already. "You are using an older version of PHP we recommend...." and it shows in the admin notifications.

Actually a lot of stuff suggested in that forum is implemented. However when no one else agrees with me or supports it it doesn't get as much traction as an idea that is more popular.

Pride is a horrible thing.
Anyway...try clicking the highlighted item and look around...

 

If its a huge quantity being purchased then I'd suggest a ticket first to see what the situation is , say for instance you wanted like 50+ licences etc I'd fire off a ticket first 🙂
I could not (I only did a cursory search) find anything immediately relevant for "bulk" , "multiple" or "volume" purchases (that would be relevant) however there is absolutely -nothing- to lose by asking even if its like your 3rd etc etc.
I could just about remember what the situation was but I don't want to post that as 1. I don't have the authority really and 2. It may of changed so I'd not want to give inaccurate information.
 
If I was you I'd just open a quick ticket and ask 🙂

I'd have to look into my older databases. Its been a while but I upgraded a 1.3 to a 4.3/4 no issues.

I really think we should be able to delete pending versions from our resources. 

Sometimes its not that they aren't validated its that they were auto-banned by the spam service I believe but you may want to raise a ticket with IPS.

Figured it out.
Install 45 afresh.
Drop all database tables
Import 349 database into now empty database
Run upgrader
 
System Current Version 3.4.9
Available Version 4.5.4
 
etc etc

The above used to be the case where there was a separate checkbox for upload and download for each group. This is from the last of the 3x series, 349:

I can see why it was removed however it did have some merit.
I can tell you one quite common source of confusion for new admins (I used to see it a fair bit in the Peer to Peer support forums) was the fact that uploaded images are attachments and if you disable 'download' for an attached image you are in effect saying "can view it" (or not) , there was actually a third party tweak at the time to exempt images from this behaviour, I remember using it so they could be viewed but files could not be downloaded, useful for guests actually.

I posted that in 2016. I'm aware of the increased browser upport since then 🙂

About This File

This plugin will give the ability to admins choose which type of content will increment member content item count when submittting them.
Setting:
Type of content Item Comment Review Notes:
Posts appears as option. Disabling it will override the forums configuration to not increment post count. The list of available content will vary based on the applications you have installed in your community.  
 

That makes some sense. I still believe having more granular control to allow "Upload Attachments" in each forum complements "Download Attachments". This allows some flexibility while still maintaining the option for incentives...
Ted.

The raw links to the images have to be removed, so they can be loaded dynamically when the user scrolls to them. No way around that. 

The PHP configuration file (php.ini) can be different for command line PHP vs the PHP used by your webserver, and it's probable you don't have the Redis PHP extension enabled for your command line PHP. This is an issue that would require some level of diagnosis to determine for sure, and then if my assumption is correct, your host would need to assist to enable Redis for command line PHP. Either way, this isn't really feedback (or even a bug report) for the software and I would encourage you to submit a ticket.

I think that is possibly by design to prevent 'accidents' from those who discover it by accident and then try things without realising the serious nature of the tool. It has been known.
