Was there an update for Evernote Desktop LEGACY Sept 2022, please?

[Herbie 12]

I can't find one but Uchek (which looks for updates for programs on a PC)  reported one.

The new version reported was the same as I already have been using for a few months, so I doubt Uchek is correct.

Not sure. Check the download page to see your version is different:

No, there is no Legacy update and there will not be one. Legacy is left as it is and will gradually fade away. Ucheck is probably reporting v10 as an update.

I am still hoping that the management will realise that the desktop stand alone Legacy product with a local and easily backed up database is the best in the market and keep it going.

Well ... "the management" seldom looks in on this forum (if ever), and you would need to send them some feedback to make this request. You can always ask. If you have a paid subscription, go to https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. If not, go to the Web client, click on your account name, then click Share feedback in the drop-down dialog.

AFAIK, Evernote has not said that they will discontinue the Legacy version, nor that they will continue to let it interact with their server databases forever. We who still use it are kind of guessing; I liked it, but now that I've gotten used to v. 10 I actually like it much better, and plan to discontinue using v. 6 in the near future. It is possible to back up the local database from v. 10; there are threads in the forum discussing it, if that's what's holding you back.

Thanks everyone. Legacy does what I want so I will stick with it for the time being.

I will also advise the Uchek people that their scan seems to report an update in error.

Quite simply, the statements and wishes of the users here in the forum do not interest the management.

That may be true but I'm not sure how that relates to the OP's question. Anyway, the Legacy software has been retained for those that want it.

@FrancesPorras, on the off chance that you are not a bot, I've reported your post as spam. If you're a real student, I say on behalf of all of us who actually do the work that the professor who flunks you out will be doing the world a service. I hope you will find honest employment.

And I just deleted a post from another user that seemed totally irrelevant to anything going on here...  C'mon folks;  if you're going to contribute to the discussions,  please make them useful,  amusing or at least coherent!

Thanks, I have taken your advice but by a different route.

I am using the legacy desktop version for Windows.

As of a few days ago (October 2022), Sync has failed every time I have tried it.

Synchronization failed
Could not connect to Evernote server

The question is:

Is this an unintended consequence of some update or is it the end of Windows desktop version?

I like working off-line and really do not want to connect to the Internet all the time.

I have Sync set for manual so that it doesn't sync unless I want it to.

Hi.  I'm still running a pre-legacy public version in Windows 10 and a Legacy version in Win 11 alongside EN v10,  and I don't currently have any sync issues.  Legacy having been deprecated,  there won't be any updates to it,  but most other apps will still get their regular boost.  It may be that something else changed on your system or in your network,  but it wouldn't appear to be Evernote...

This should still be relevant.. Tips for troubleshooting syncing issues
