Migrate Database from V15 to V20

[tie_cctan]

I’m currently using Manager 15.1.15 with Windows 7. Recently i purchased new laptop with Windows 10 and install Manager 20.10.94. I’m trying backup the database from Manager 15.1.15 and import to Manager 20.10.94 but the system prompt me a message that the database is not under sqlite format. How can i resolve the problem?

See

Old versions of manager files: are they always readable?

Currently Manager includes upgrade script supporting versions 5 years back. However, even if you happen to have a database outside of the upgrade window, you can always download slightly older version of Manager and then the latest.

And

Business database not valid, desktop version on Windows 10

Here is the solution. Install version 20.9.89 which will still allow you to import this old database format and will convert to SQLite format. Release Manager 20.9.89 · Manager-io/Manager.msi · GitHub Once you’ve done that, you can upgrade to the latest version.

Hi Patch, thanks for the support. By the way, where can we download the older version? say Version 19? i thought my existing version is too old, it prompt me same error when using version 20.9.89.

To install an older version on Manager, from memory you need to un-install the newer version (which can not read your data file).

To get the old version of the program go to the second thread shown above. All version for Window, Mac and Linux are on github.
