Error message failed to read from G:\TimeSlipsDB\ABBREV.DB. The file was created by a newer version of this program

Question

I have 3 licenses of Timeslips 2011. One of my machines died and I reinstalled the 2011 software (and same license) on a new machine. When I try to access the Timeslips database, I get the error " failed to read from G:\TimeSlipsDB\ABBREV.DB. The file was created by a newer version of this program" 
 From the research I have done, it appears that I need to load service pack 1 and service pack 2 onto the new machine. I have looked on the sage website and the oldest service pack updates that they have are for 2013. 
 Can someone tell me if there is a way to get service pack 1 and 2?

How did you load Timeslips on the computer? You need to do it from the loclinst folder on the server. Then all machines should be on same service release
