Well, that was helpful.

Sorry I didn't explain that well. I thought what I wrote was transmitted but somehow I goofed.

My comment was that I deleted 25 and the update. I had too many problems with 25, so now I only work with 2014.5.

Hope that explanation is clear.

As long as you purchased v25, you could have kept the installation intact and simply reverted to 2014.5 for your ongoing work. What problems were you having? It might have been possible to get some advice on troubleshooting, especially if something about your computer setup was causing difficulties. Plus, there will be ongoing updates over the course of the next 2 years or so.

Don't forget that you own it and can reinstall if you want to give it another try.

What operating system does your computer run?

And I agree with Bruce: what trouble were you having with Finale v25?
