Following a major fire in our music school, we lost our paritions and had to recover all scores that we bought from a former arranger. 

We were told that the Finale v1.0/2.0/3.0 bin file partitions, that we still hold, could be opened with Finale 2004 and potentially later version, but we do not have this old version of course, and no way to get them.

How can we manage to get those Finale previous installation version if available in order to recover our scores ? 

What is the latest version providing support for Bin filetype ?

Hi folks,

For anyone watching this thread, Cyber sent in a couple files to us. MacOS could open those .bin files similarly to .zip files, revealing a file without an extension. Adding ".mus" to the filename allowed Finale v27 to open them without issue!

You may want to "submit a request" (using the link at the top of the page here) to get help directly from Finale for this since (you being a school) they may have ways to help beyond what any of we users could suggest.

Sometimes very old version of Finale come up for sale on ebay.  There are guys like me that have, or had I should say, every copy of Finale made. I probably have 2004, even older, but finding the 'disks' and 'paper work' might be a real challenge. In fact CD's, DVD's, and even floppy disk might be a problem. Some were d/l, too.
