After, installing 5.0 on my system I was no longer able to use 4.02. Upon launching 4 I recieved an error 5 - invalid procedure call or argument.

5 beta did not recognize that I am a registered user of 4.02 and set me back to trial use of 5.

Uninstalling 5 did not fix it.
Reinstalling 4.02 did not fix it.

WORK AROUND: Uninstall both and reinstall 4. But make sure that you have your product ID and Registration numbers first!

In the end, I think I lost my SW FTP client settings for my sites including the passwords. Fortunately, due to past experiences, all of this information was written down.

Good points... we'll look into trying to fix this problem before the public release.

To save your FTP client settings from a 4.0 app and use them in 5.0, copy the servers.dat file in the 4.0 Config directory to the 5.0 Config directory.
