new version doesn't open existing outputs

[daniello.m@virgilio.it]

Good evening,
I installed the new version 5.2.1, but i observed that this version doesn't allow to open the existing output. This is a great damage, because I need to run again analyses that takes a lot of days to run.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks sincerely for any type of help
Best regards
Mario

This is because the new version has changes significantly the structure of the output. Unfortunately, you need to re-run the analyses.

Dear Support,
thanks for your reply. The new version of seismostruct generated huge and catastrophic problems for me and my colleagues, since we have more than 280 GB of output (about 4months of IDAs) that cannot be opened.
The idea of re-run the analyes is a big damage, because we have to conclude an RFCS research project.
Is it possible to obtain a time-limited old version for at least a month?
In such a way we can try to get the outputs of our analyes.
If not we cannot conclude in time.
Thanks in advance for any type of help.
Best regards
Mario

I am facing the same issue. I'd also like to ask if there is a way to open the outputs obtained using the previous version of SeismoStruct?

Dear Florin,
Unfortunately, there aren't possibilities to open the old outputs.
I hope that the support service will allow using the old version at least for the minimu time to save the existing outputs.

Mario

Hi,
I faced with another problem.
Although it is only about 1 week from installation of the new trial version in my laptop, today it shows " -1 days left " and the software didn't open!

Hi everyone,
I found a way to continue to use the old version.
Simply change the date of your computer to any date before june 30
and miracle...Seismostruct built 5.0.5 can still be use and then work with your previous output files.

Seismostruct developpers, if you really intended to make this version unusable for any reasons and you think about doing anything to prevent us to do this, let this trick work for a few months so we can complete our works.

Thanks you

Benoit

Hi Benoit.

I tried to use your trick, but to me it does not work! Can you tell me exactly how you do it?

Thank you
