Is version 5.3.38.0 available anywhere? I need it to migrate my data (.bak) from my office computer to my laptop.

I'm looking for version 5.3.38.0 to install the software on my laptop (i.e. my second computer). The newer 5.3.5.0 won't accept the .bak backup from my main PC. I have the 'Freelance edition', if that means anything. Thank you!

  • Hi,

    I am working with Baccs 5.0.4, My database is *.bak

    Program does not offer updates or upgrades.

    I also just installed 6 Essential and TBM 5.3.5 (demo mode I just see)

    These 2 don't let me import *.bak.

    What route to follow to TBM 6 Essential (importing Bak data) ? (activated and updated today)

    PD: SDL online help, now Rws, is a bit chaotic! After looking for a fix I have a dozen of windows open from different areas of this website. Help... community... wiki... old docs... docs that are for different or unclear versions. Your help is very appreciated as usual!

    Edit: surprisingly now export to Json appeared! Don't know if it is due to activating TBM6 or what....!

    Edit 2: missing info: what settings are not imported (invoice details, file folders locations) and of course how to make again personal invoices. (I saw that somewhere...)
