When the new software came and I downloaded it, (mac0S Catalina 10.15.7) I have no been able to use some programs that I purchased. I want to go back to the software package I had before since those programs are important in my line of business. How do I go back to my previous version of software?

You not running your business correctly. You should have a bootable clone of your system. You should have a current startup drive and a prior startup drive. You should clone the current startup drive to the prior. Upgrade. Thus if you run into an issue, you can boot from your prior system and continue working.

Carbon Copy Cloner will copy your startup drive to an
external drive. You can boot from the external drive to verify
that you have a good clone. When you upgrade your existing startup
drive, you can at any time boot from your external drive and go back
to your existing system.

SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes
recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup
painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is

makes it trivial to back up automatically. And it runs beautifully
on both Intel and Power PC Macs!

I have PrintShop 4 and since I downloaded the newest software for my MAC I can no longer use the program. How can I go back to my old version of software.
