Hello, I have a MemoQ licence, I was using Memo 2015 and upgraded (free) to MemoQ 8, however, when I tried to update to MQ 9.0, I could not, as my SMA licence has expired, however, I could not go back to MQ 8.0 (it would only work in Free Mode) so I had to revert back to MQ 2015, however some projects have been lost, the message in the title above comes up because they were completed in a different version of MemoQ (in MemoQ 8.0), and I don't even see the corresponding .tmx files in the TM folde...

However, as I'm not able to update my SMA right away, is there any way I can retrieve these projects?
