I have an interview for a job creating Storyline elearning. They first want to ssee work samples, so I wanted to just upload my old Storyline files and resave as html5 so they won't have the "Flash" issue in viewing them.
I don't own Storyline, since my employers were always the ones who did and since I am hoping that remains the same, I downloaded the SL 360 trial. I can't open the SL 2 files, though, since the trials don't allow that.
Is there any way to update my SL 2 files to html5 without having to buy the software? It's jsut a bit too expensive for someone who is not employed right now! Thanks!
Yes, actually I found several places it says that Trial versions do NOT go backward and automatically open items created with prior versions. The error message I kept getting said "this was created in a previous version" which made me think that wouldn't matter, and that is how I learned that the Trial versions won't allow you to view ones created with previous versions.
So next, I downloaded Storyline 2, as that is what I used to create the project but THAT would also not let me open the file and gave me the same message. So now I am at a loss.

I am sure the trial will allow you to open SL2 files
Hi Mary,
Thanks for reaching out and letting us know that you're running into an issue.
Phil is correct, you should be able to open your Storyline 2 files with Storyline 360.
Are you seeing an error when trying to open the .story file? I'd be happy to continue assisting you.

Thanks for any help you can offer!
The trial version will open old files from SL1 and 2. Apart from restricted access to the content library the trial is fully functional.
Sounds like something is wrong with your files. Can you post one?
