Connect old version of anydesk with new version

A very specific question!

When you upgrade from an older version of AnyDesk to a newer one, you may encounter issues with connecting to the old version from the new one. This is because the protocol and encryption used in the older version might not be compatible with the newer version.

Here are some general steps to help you connect an old version of AnyDesk with a new version:

  1. Check the compatibility: Before attempting to connect, check the AnyDesk website for compatibility information between the old and new versions. You can find this information in the release notes or by contacting AnyDesk support.
  2. Use the same account: Ensure that you're using the same account credentials (username and password) on both the old and new versions. This will help the connection process.
  3. Check the connection settings: Verify that the connection settings, such as the port number and encryption method, are the same on both versions. You can find these settings in the AnyDesk settings or preferences.
  4. Use the "Legacy" connection option: In some cases, the new version of AnyDesk might offer a "Legacy" connection option. This allows you to connect to older versions of AnyDesk using the older protocol. You can find this option in the AnyDesk settings or preferences.
  5. Downgrade the new version: If the above steps don't work, you can try downgrading the new version of AnyDesk to a version that is compatible with the old version. You can find older versions of AnyDesk on the AnyDesk website or by contacting their support team.
  6. Use a third-party solution: There are some third-party solutions available that can help you connect to an old version of AnyDesk from a new version. For example, you can use a VPN or a proxy server to tunnel the connection.
