Important for new trialists: to launch a new trial for an older version of Reference, you will need a trial key. All older software releases are available for download in our downloads archive. However, software issues will only be investigated and fixed on supported versions/operating systems as we simply don't have the capacity to fully support them. We do of course have some basic support in place for them as well as FAQ content and we will help with essential issues (activation, license transfers, etc.) if you submit a support request regarding using those versions. Keep in mind though that versions 4.3 and lower are not supported - all active development on them has stopped. For example, running Reference 4 on macOS 10.11 or lower is possible using older versions. However, there can be numerous reasons for using older versions of Reference instead. The latest version of Reference software is always recommended to use, download here.
