Paratext 8 (Support Ended Dec 31, 2021)

Support for Paratext 8 ended on Dec 31, 2021.

Please upgrade to Paratext 9 as soon as possible.

Paratext 8

Paratext 8 is still able to be used together with Paratext 9 as it shares the same data and registration code.

Instructions to download and install Paratext 8

Paratext 8.0 Installation

System requirement: Windows Vista or later. (Paratext 8 will not install on Windows XP.)

You will need a current user registration code from registry.paratext.org

Note that you do not need to uninstall Paratext 7 or earlier.  Both may be installed, but please read the FAQ section if you will continue using both.

The following instructions omit obvious steps (for example, “click Next”).

  1. To install while connected to a good Internet connection, download and run the Online installer below.  If additional system components are needed during installation, they will be downloaded via the Internet.  To install on a different computer which is not connected to the Internet, please download the larger offline installer which includes all the system components which may be needed during installation.
  2. To run the Paratext installer, double-click the downloaded file.
  3. Agree to the license terms and click Install.
    This step might take a few minutes if the installer needs to install additional system components.
    If a dialog appears and asks for your permission or for administrator credentials, click Yes or provide the credentials as required.
  4. When the Destination Folder step appears, do not change the default unless you have a strong reason for doing so.
    Paratext 8 data must not share the same directory as Paratext 7 data.
    Paratext 8 data will share the same directory as Paratext 9 when it is released.
  5. When the installer has completed click Finish and then Close.
