how to open .acd files

I created a lot of .acd files with Acid Pro 6.0 years ago. Which version of Magix is able to open/convert those old .acd files?

@JPM Have you tried the demo of the current version?

No, I'll try the demo version, thanks. Also, I found an affordable version of Acid Music Studio 11. Would it work on that?

@JPM I don't know. Acid Music Studio is feature restricted compared to Acid Pro. Have you checked if you can get an upgrade for a reduced price? If you registered your old version with Sony your registration should have been transferred to Magix.

Can I return Studio 11 if it doesn't open my .acd files correctly?

@JPM

If you download and install a Trial version, you have actually "bought" nothing, so there is nothing to return! You can simply uninstall it from your computer if it does not do what you want.

Thanks, I don't see a trial version of the studio 11, is the trial only available for Pro 10?

It's listed at the top of the Acid Music Studio 11 page where it has links for purchase, upgrade and trial.
