### 3. How do you install *Lumion* 2025?

#### 3.1: Lumion Updater

For those on **Lumion 2025.0.2 and 2025.1.0 only**, see [Section 2.1](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/19336288624668.json#H2.1_Lumion_Updater) above.

 

#### 3.2: Full version Install:

#### For all other versions, see [Section 2.2](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/19336288624668.json#H2.2_Download_via_your_Lumion_Account) above or [Section 2.3](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/19336288624668.json#H2.3_HowdoyouupgradeaLumionPerpetual) above.

- **Lumion 2025.2 is a standalone, full install.**

- **Knowledge Base:**  [What file space do I need to download and install Lumion?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/4413804109202.json?hsLang=en-us)

**Warning:** Although you can have both Lumion 2024 and 2025 installed on the same PC, it is not required or advisable to do so.

 

We recommend first **uninstalling** Lumion 2024.  **Uninstalling** Lumion 2024 only uninstalls the software.  It does not remove any of your files used for *Projects* as saved in the *Lumion-Documents* folders, such as the *Imported Model* files, *Custom Materials* and *Groups*.

Loading *Projects* or *Imported Models* **saved in Lumion 2025** and newer **in an older version** such as Lumion 2024 or Lumion 12.5 is not possible and will return an error. 

The Default *Lumion-Documents* folder for Lumion 2025 uses a **new** folder '*\\Lumion 2025*' to ensure files from this version do not get mixed up files from an earlier version.  **Do not** change the *Lumion-Documents* folder so that it uses a folder for Lumion 2024, or 2023, or earlier.

The data is **not backward compatible from Lumion 2025 to Lumion 2024 or earlier**.  **This is especially important for version 2025 as major changes have been done to the data file formats.** 

**Important:** See **Section 4 (below)**: [How do you transfer old Projects to Lumion 2025?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/19336288624668.json#How_do_you_transfer_old_Projects)

And also the Compatibility section in the Release article: 

- **Knowledge Base:** [Lumion 2025.0: Release Notes](https://support.lumion.com/hc/en-us/articles/19336065135516?hsLang=en-us)

**Important:**  If you are unsure about how to set up your *Lumion-Documents* folder, or if you think you need to keep using Lumion 2024 along with Lumion 2025, then please consult with us:

- **Knowledge Base:**  [Contact Lumion Technical Support](https://support.lumion.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042039073?hsLang=en-us)

 

#### 3.2: For new users and users with Lumion 12.5 and older (who now have a Lumion 2025 License Key)

- **Lumion 2025.2 is a full, standalone installation.** It is not a patch for older versions of *Lumion*.  See [Section 2.3](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/19336288624668.json#H2.3_HowdoyouupgradeaLumionPerpetual) above.
- Do not uninstall older existing *Lumion* installations until you have transferred your *Projects* and *Imported Models* (see Section 4 below).
- Do not install *Lumion* 2025.1 in the same folder as an older version of *Lumion*.
- Ensure that there is plenty of free file space on the PC:

- - **Knowledge Base:**  [What file space do I need to download and install Lumion?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/4413804109202.json?hsLang=en-us)

### 4. Important: How do you transfer old *Projects* to *Lumion* 2025?

#### 4.1: Follow the steps in this important article

- **Knowledge Base:** [How do you migrate Projects and Files to Lumion version 2025?](https://support.lumion.com/hc/en-us/articles/19339275362332?hsLang=en-us)

- Please note that *Projects* and *Imported Models* saved in version 2025.2.0 and newer **should not** be opened in older versions of *Lumion*.
- **See also** [Section 3. How do you install Lumion 2025?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/19336288624668.json#H3_How_do_you_install_Lumion_2025) (above).

#### 4.2:  First time Save

The first time you save a *Project* file in Lumion 2025.0 or newer after loading it from an earlier version, you will be required to use *SaveAs*. The *Save* option is unavailable (greyed out) to prevent any overwrite.  This is **very important** given the changes to the data structure.  And allows you to still *Load* an older version LSF file in that earlier version.

- **Knowledge Base:** [How do you migrate Projects and Files to Lumion version 2025?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/19339275362332.json?hsLang=en-us)
