3D Library Downloads for Home Designer 2021

[somefun]

Hello everyone. I have Home Designer 2021. I have recently upgraded computers and need to re-download the library items that I am using in my existing projects. All of the options for downloads that I've seen only go back as far as version 2022 and won't install if I try. All of these catalogs (some of which I have purchased) were originally downloaded and installed on my 2021 version. Is there some workaround for this? Thanks!

Best to ask support

I contacted support. They say they only "support" versions 2022 or newer. Not sure how this is going to work with my designs that have manufacturer catalogs in use. Between that and the new subscription model, I'm regretting all of the money and time that I've put into this software.

I guess that's one of the drawbacks of not updating a 5 year old version at some point. The new version is half price for now, if that's any consolation?

I didn't upgrade because I didn't need new features. I originally upgraded from 20 to 21 because I needed them then. I don't use the product that often. I'm a homeowner, not a professional. Regarding the new version, I don't see any option except for the subscription now. Am I missing something?

That's your only option, yet you could buy it for a year and not renew if you don't need it.

Thank you Keith.
