Where can I download Roon Version 1.8 (build 1151) Produktion 1x (32-Bit)?

[Thomas_Kuhnel (Thomas Kühnel)]

The instruction to install a new Roon Rock is saying, that on both machines (old and new) the latest Rock version needs to be installed: https://help.roonlabs.com/portal/en/kb/articles/migration

I am using an old Lenovo PC and will buy me a Cirrus 7 and want to migrate from old to new. I asked at Cirrus if they could install the version on my old laptop, which is called “the latest”, Roon Version 1.8 (build 1151) Produktion 1x (32-Bit). I know, that the latest is now 2.0, which would be the one my dealer Cirrus would be able to install. I am a bit nervous, that having 2.0 vs. 1.8 might lead to issues, running my Roon with my setings, playlists, etc.

It would be helpful, if I could inform Cirrus about where to find Roon Version 1.8 (build 1151) Produktion 1x (32-Bit). Thank you very much.

Not sure if this gets you what you exactly want but. This should get you the “latest” 1.8 version?
There are links and instructions on how to install 1.8 in a way that avoids getting prompts to upgrade to 2.0.

Roon 1.8 Legacy - How to stick with Roon 1.8

Roon 2.0 is here, and with it comes some exciting new updates to the Roon platform - including Roon ARC, our mobile app for remote listening - free and exclusive for Roon users. However, we know not everyone will want to - or will have the capacity to - upgrade to Roon 2.0 straight away. We know some users will want or need to ‘hang back’ from 2.0, at least for a little while. So alongside Roon 2.0, we’re also giving users the option of sticking with Roon 1.8 - should they choose to.

Thank you very much bearFNF!

I´ll forward this information

to my Cirrus dealer hoping that it´ll work.

This may not work because the window to go back to Roon 1.8 Legacy was for only 6 weeks and has closed.

How do I downgrade to 1.8?

While it was possible to do an in-place downgrade to 1.8 for approximately 6 weeks after the release of 2.0 that window has now closed. You may still install 1.8, but you will need to restore a 1.8-compatible backup (created with any 1.8 version or 2.0 build 1141 or earlier) or start over with a new database.

Here are the steps to follow to go back to Roon 1.8 from a Roon 2.0 installation on your Roon Core:

1. Install Roon 1.8 (Legacy) on your Roon Remote (iOS/Android/other PC)

2. Completely close out of Roon / RoonServer on the Core

3. Download the installer from the link below

4. Install on Core and start

You will need to install the Roon 1.8 legacy app on a Roon Remote/iOS device first before being able to take the downgrade. It’s important to note that you will be logged out of your Roon account when you downgrade from Roon 2.0 to 1.8. This is because Roon 2.0 and Roon 1.8 use different account login mechanisms. You will be able to log back in afterwards.

Thank you. I have to admit, that I am a bit confused about the information Roon is providing, On one hand my old device is using “the latest version” of Roon, on the other hand U need to download the same SW Release to the new NUC, but downloading 1.8 isn’t possible any longer. Honest opiniom? That doesn’t seem user friendly at all…
