I'd like to install the prior version of DP 9 (after upgrading to DP 9.5 and experiencing a problem). How do I do that?
I assume the process begins with downloading an older version of the software, which is problematic for starters, since MOTU.com has been down/wierd since at least yesterday. (Anyone else seeing this, or have I entered an alternate universe after binge eating?)

Re: Installing Prior Version of DP
The server does seem to be down at the moment, but it usually works fine.
Rename the current installation to something like DP 9.5.1 so it isn't overwritten when you install the older version. Otherwise, just install the older version as you would any other app. The downloads are full installation DMG files.

Re: Installing Prior Version of DP
Thanks. I appreciate the help. MOTU must not be too concerned about missing Black Friday sales, or else their website issues are severe.
What am I renaming exactly? Just the application itself in my applications folder? Or do I need to rename any library or other folders/files?
