Please follow the steps below to downgrade MDaemon to a prior version. This article can
be used for any currently supported version of MDaemon. If the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server (BES) components have been installed and are no longer used, they can be
removed from the Windows > Control Panel > Programs section of Windows. If the BES
components are not installed, all steps regarding BES can be ignored.

1. Download the previous version (the version to which you are downgrading) of
MDaemon from our archive site.

(*=version) (??=language)

services. If MDaemon 12.0 - 12.5 is installed on the server, skip to step 2b.

Database Engine and Workstation Components to fully uninstall the SQL server.
Otherwise, choose MDAEMON: Database Engine to only remove the MDaemon
database.

7. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the \MDaemon folder. By default, the path to
the MDaemon folder is C:\MDaemon.

the folder name (Example: App.old)
