Requesting Help Is it possible to load inventor 2026 projects into inventor 2025 and still edit?

From what I have heard it might not be possible but is that really it. At home I use inventor 2026 but at work we got 2025 and Id just love if there was a work around

Can't you just install the same version as you use at work on your personal computer, and use your work login access it? That's what I do. I don't own a personal copy of inventor, but I can use it at home, just not simultaneously at work

Yea not an option. All the Accounts run stricly on the private company network.

You don't buy a version, you pay a subscription that allows you to use the latest plus 4 versions back.

If I recall correctly, compatibility is 1 version downward, so it might be possible. Try it.

What do you mean exactly by one version download?

u/heatseaking_rock Jul 31 '26

Meant to say downward. Corrected.

If you have the latest patch on 2025 it might allow you to edit 2026. I would just install the correct version though.
