Welcom to the forum @ramirezandujar
This is because you already tried to open this particular file in a newer version. The newer version runs an update script to the data file making it incompatible with previous versions.
You need to get a file that wasn’t opened by a newer version and it should work.
Upgrade back to the latest version. If your business database cannot be imported into the latest version, send it to lubos@manager.io
and I will help with that.
Lubos, no luck. Just sent you the database via email. Thanks in advance
Hi I think I have the same problem. Background - I had an older Mac and did a Time Machine full backup. The old Mac is gone and have new Mac (v12.6). I tried copying the backup application to new Mac but had to upgrade the Manager app. But after I did that only the biz name shows and no files/accounts inside. Tried installing a older version of manager and I get this screenshot.
Also got this screenshot
I have backups of Manager io but did the stupid mistake of not backing up the biz itself. I also tried looking for the database file but have no idea which it is -
Is it possible to extract the database and “put/link” it to a new version of Manager? Basically how do I retrieve my database? it must be in the backup somewhere right?
Thanks!

You have to open the Manager data file in Manager v20.9.89 then in a later version.
Note if you do it in the reverse order you get multiple reported errors:
Also be aware your data files are hidden under macOS. Read the Guide about application data folder management.
