Hi!
I have some amount of important & big schematic files stored under Multisim 8.x Evaluation version. After big lightning strike unfortunately I lost almost all of hardware in my PC and now I have new mobo, hdd etc., and cannot open backuped ms8 files. It says: "Could not open the selected file, because it was saved on another machine using a demo version of the program. You can only open this file using a demo or regular version of the program installeed on the same computer as where the file was saved" & " The (...).ms8 file was not recognized as a valid file format"
But this old computer don't exists now. 😕
Even under Multisim 10.0.1 Power Pro REGULAR version on my friends system while opening those ms8 files it says:
"An unknown error occured while accesing E:\(...).ms8. I tried also under Multisim 10 Eval. and... nothing! 😞
Files are on HDD (copied from CD backup) and worked properly with old system. Is there ANY chance of open .ms8 files?? Or saving them under DEMO version was terrible mistake and I lost them forever even if I still have them physically?
Any help, please?
