I'm sure it's a button or link right in front of my face, but can't seem to find it anywhere in the app or help pages.  I've given 6 a few days and just don't see enough to justify a new registration so want to switch back.

Thanks!

File menu>Save as> choose the save as type to be MLO5.
uninstall MLO6 and open that file with MLO5.  
Beware that upgrading to MLO6 breaks your ability to archive and requires exporting to xml format and re-importing.  
Something I haven't gotten around to doing because it's a bit of a crap show.

Be prepared for reminders to upgrade everytime you open this program.

Wow I never knew you could save as the previous version file. I always say back up your data (especially before updating), and I like to use a spare computer to test the new major version before I install on my main machine.

Sure enough in MLO5 I can save as ML04 .ml file so that sounds neat (and wouldn't trust unless my only chance)

When it keeps asking to upgrade, I assume I can just click the skip this version button to stop asking.

Well that certainly sounds like a BS way of doing it. A little warning as to what was involved would have been appreciated. Honestly there isn't anything in the version 6 that is important to me and I only considered the upgrade because the company is Ukrainian. Have now changed my mind because you are putting me through such hoops to downgrade.

I agree, I quit the trial, and downgrading is a pain... I have never had any app require me to reinstall an older version after a trial... I always thought the MLO team was considerate, but this is hard selling, and I do not like it at all!  I was kind and took a 3 year sync license back when the war started and they suggested we could support them that way... but now this makes me regret that choice... I can not say I will leave MLO, but I just was not ready to upgrade right now.
