You may use prior versions of Storyline, however, there will be some features that you will not be able to access if you are using an older version. If you already have previous version of Storyline installed, you can still participate in the course by downloading a 30-day trial of the latest version of Articulate Storyline at https://www.articulate.com/products/storyline-why.php no sooner than 1-2 days before the class so that the trial does not expire prior to completing the course and related homework assignments.
 
All versions of Articulate Storyline are independent of each other and all can be installed on the same computer. While the current version can support previous versions of software, they are not backward compatible. Each new version of Articulate Storyline has new features.
