On startup, Maestro shows all versions except the one i am using(5.1) . I turn the Maestro off and back on. it goes directly to main screen on boot up. I am using 5.1 because ver 6.0 & 6.1 lock my sound card on all digital modes except WSJT. I reported this problem 6 months ago but got no response. The info on ver 6.2 recommends not downgrading once upgrading to Ver 6.2. 
I am hesitant to upgrade not knowing if this problem has been resolved. I am using a 6300 with Maestro. The computer is a desktop running ver. 8.1.  It does the same with a ver10 laptop

    Older versions have been removed in order so people will not use a version without the latest fixes. It is strongly recommended that you move to the last update. this new update protects the SD card from corruption. There is an update coming soon with fixes v2 .4.9

    why  would it display ver 1.12.1 and 2.4.9 and not 2.5.1. I stated in the post that I
    don't use the later versions because they lock my sound card on digital modes except wsjt. I enjoy using tty and sstv and would have to give them up if I upgraded.

    If I have understood correctly, version 2.5.1, 2.6.0 and 2.6.1  may cause the SD card to go corrupt. 2.49 is kept as it do offer some features that were "broken" in the latter releases. Not sure how harmful 2.4.9 may be on SD. Latest v1.12.1 is there as there are users that have not paid to upgrade to higher version.  My Maestro dopped my v2.6.0 and I was pretty much forced to upgrade.
    Now for your sound card problem,  maybe the newest DAX drivers work better?  I think  the latest DAX/CAT are to be kept when downgrading.

    V2.4.9 is going to stay on the list, but at this time the changes have not been done to 2.4.9.  An update is due out very soon. If you are having troubles with the latest versions I recommend that you find out what is causing the problems. Instead of avoiding them.. The latest releases are well worth using.

    The screen shows every version old and new  except v 5.1  I will not upgrade until i am assured the problem is fixed. V 5.1 works for me.
