Loading *Projects* or *Imported Models* **saved in Lumion 2026** and newer **in an older version** such as Lumion 2025 or Lumion 12.5 is not possible and will return an error.  The Default *Lumion-Documents* folder for Lumion 2026 uses a **new** folder '*\\Lumion 2026*' 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 2025, or 2024, or earlier. The data is **not backward compatible from Lumion 2026 to Lumion 2025 or earlier**.  **This is especially important for version 2026 as major changes have been done to the data file formats.**  **Important:** See **Section 4 (below)**: [How do you transfer old Projects to Lumion 2026?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help-center/en-us/articles/lumion-2026-everything-you-need-to-know#How_do_you_transfer_old_Projects) And also the Compatibility section in the Release article:  - **Knowledge Base:** [Lumion 2026.0: Release Notes](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help-center/en-us/articles/lumion-2026.0-release-notes?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 2025 along with Lumion 2026, 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 2026 License Key) - **Lumion 2026.1 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/lumion-2026-everything-you-need-to-know#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* 2026.0 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.
