license for an older version
We don't sell licenses for our legacy plug-ins separately. However, when you purchase a license for the latest version you will also get access to its earlier versions.
Your account automatically offers you a license key for earlier versions of plug-ins that you own. First log into your account: www.fabfilter.com/myaccount
Click 'View license key' next to your most recent order for a plug-in, e.g. Pro-Q 4. Then, click on 'View license keys for earlier versions' in the top-right corner of the page. The license keys for earlier versions will now be displayed.
You can download all earlier plug-in versions here:

Hello,
recently I've downloaded a few older plugins from your website, which are not going to be updated. So I've tried to install them and it seems they are demo versions.
So my question is do I need/ do you have/ and how can I get a license for the older plugins?
Kind regards Ferry
