Hey guys, I upgraded from 8.5 to 9, so I had both versions still working on my pc. Which I need, because some vsts are 32b and 9 only supports 64b. So I need 8.5 to finish off some audio projects that I cannot open with all the processing in 9. I have since upgraded my pc with a fresh install of cubase. From my steinberg account only v9 was available to install. Is there a way I can get 8.5 back on this new pc?
My suggestion would be that you submit a support request from within your MySteinberg account. Explain your situation and hopefully they will send you a link for 8.5.
Regards 
Maybe try jBridge so you can run your 32bit VST’s on x64 Cubase 9? Works great here.
