open max files in lower version?

[spookers622]

i was wondering if its possible to open 3ds max 8 files in 3ds max 7 or any lower version... my trial expires tomorrow and i was hoping i could use trials 6 through 9 but i used 8 first lol (not the brightest idea). I thought maybe if i exported to gmax and back but ive only found a 3ds max exporter for gmax.

Only if you export it to obj or 3ds, where you can import it back in. You can't open the max file though.

that's basically the same thing though... isn't it?

[spookers622]

is there any way to export it without having to reassigned material ids?
