Paratext 9.3 Beta Compatibility

Compatibility with Previous Paratext 9 Versions

  • Paratext 9.3 beta is fully compatible with 9.0 – 9.2, although the new features will only be accessible from the newer versions.
  • Installing 9.3 beta will NOT replace other versions of Paratext 9.

Compatibility with Paratext 8

Paratext 9 is compatible with Paratext 8 and can be used on the same projects, sharing files using send/receive. If you have Paratext 8 installed, the Paratext 9 installer will not replace it. The installer does not delete Paratext 8 or change it in any way–you can continue to use both Paratext 8 and Paratext 9, but you should not have both open at the same time.

If Paratext 8 is installed, Paratext 9 will use the existing My Paratext 8 Projects directory, sharing projects with Paratext 8. If Paratext 8 is not installed, Paratext 9 creates a new project directory named My Paratext 9 Projects.

Incompatibility with Paratext 7

  • Paratext 9 is NOT compatible with Paratext 7. Users of 7 must take their registration code from 7 and reregister at https://registry.paratext.org.
  • Data from 7 must be migrated to Paratext 8 first: see Migration Help for instructions.

Paratext is compatible with various versions of software like FieldWorks (FLEx) and Logos Bible Software. To find out more, see Compatibility with other software.
