Hello guys, since I just have the license for KBM 7, I wanted to know how to downgrade my Keyboard Maestro form 8 to 7. Thanks

If you already have run KM8 this might be problematic, but possible. That’s what I have found:
Do not ever run Keyboard Maestro 7 after running Keyboard Maestro 8. You can revert to Keyboard Maestro 7, but unless you do it carefully, the reversion will lose chunks of your macros (any actions that have been converted to newer versions, like the new generalised Search & Replace and Filter actions).
So if you want to keep Keyboard Maestro 7 around, I would suggest you compress it in the Finder, and then delete the original. However there really is no point in keeping around the old versio…
If you open Keyboard Maestro 7 after running Keyboard Maestro 8, you may damage your macros (specifically, Search & Replace and Filter actions may be lost).
You might need to revert to the macros as they were before you ran Keyboard Maestro 7 (perhaps the revision from yesterday).
Thanks, Tom. My KM8 doesn’t run and it’s expired. Could you help me what should I do, step by step. I’m not Pro like you. Thanks

Unfortunately I don’t know any more than I can read in the two posts by @peternlewis , quoted in my above post.
If I get it correctly, the only bullet-proof way is to restore a KM7-version of your macros, otherwise you’ll have to repair some actions in the macros.
Maybe someone who has experience with restoring macros can chime in…
