I have several old projects but not the old versions that created them.
Is there any way to open .iwp and/or .bws filews in Version 13?
If not, does anyone know of coversion utilities that would work?
Thanks!

I would but the license number went away with the software on hte old computer.
All I have is the backup files I made.
The "Export" folder has dates from April, 2014 so whatever version was active at that time is what I had and used.
In 2022, I opened my brother's website, which was created with the Evolution 13 version and edited until 2022, with the Evo 2022 version and converted it to the new format.
There was no shop on my brother's website and there were only minor problems with the footer.
I have no experience with the Professional 13 version.

Click on the user name at the top right and select “My Profile”. The older versions can be downloaded here and the corresponding license keys can also be found.
In the German forum there are two people who convert projects from ancient versions. Read how to proceed in this post (perhaps translate with Google translate).

If you create a post for Incomedia with your old email address details (& your current email address) they will be able to provide access to this forum as a registered user. You will then be able to go to your profile and download the old version which should have no difficulty opening the old projects. Once this is done you can export the project as an iwzip file and it will import into the current version if you wish.
When you create the post, set it as private and only Incomedia staff will see it.
Esahc is correct if you want to work with the old software with your old version project you don't need a conversion, you need the old version, that is available if you sign in with your old e-mail or add it to your account, or ask Incomedia.
If you want to convert to newer version you will need an new licence for the new version, that can be added to your profile, if not again, ask Incomedia in a private post to convert your old profile (licenses) to your new email / account.
