Installing Pre-10.x Releases

[peardox 0]

My license is for 11.2 Architect and as such includes access back to XE2 Architect

 

I've been writing some installation routines and want to check older version compatibility but I if I download any XE (tried a few inceluding 2 + 7) but the installer for pre-10.x wont accept my serial informing me it's not valid.

 

It was suggested that I install 11 then try XE [some version] as my 11 would recognise the key and that should be picked up by the XE installer - but it didn't work.

 

Anyone know how I can install an XE with my valid 11 license?

If I'm not mistaken, there is some time limit to get the lower versions. Did you not cross it?

You need to request licenses for the older versions. When I did it a few years ago it generated and sent me emails with the license / key for each older version I requested.

Thanks, that's just the information I was after
