Download the previous update and install it, not any more difficult than that.

Will the camera defs be unaffected by a rollback?

Will the camera defs be unaffected by a rollback?

Probably will be OK, they are stored in the same place in the computer registry for V5 and V6. I have never done it or needed to go back to V5 from V6
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software\Blue Iris

Thanks. I did the rollback and now the watermark is gone.
It's set to no automatic updates - should I set to no update prompts?
In About Blue Iris in Support Level it shows Expired and a date in red - what is that about?

If you are not going to pay for maintenance, then yes set it to no update prompts

The date in red is the day your maintenance expired. You can update to any version up to that date. Anything after will watermark.

The Blue Iris help explains all of this. Just sayin.

I just did a complete reinstall of v5 since v6 hosed up my setup. Make sure you have the license key handy before doing this. What I did was to do Export settings from the About tab of the Blue Iris Settings page. Then I closed BI and stopped the Service. Then I did an uninstall of v6 from Windows Add or Remove Programs. Then I deleted /Software/Perspective Software from both HKLM and HKCU sections of the registry, Then I deleted all Blue Iris folders under c:\Program Files. DO NOT DELETE your clips! Then I installed the FULL VERSION of BI 5 which I got from Blue Iris support and upgraded to the most recent STABLE version (ends in .73). It asked for License Key, which I entered. Then I did Imported settings on the About tab of the Blue Iris Settings page. That restored all my settings, including cameras and web server. Then I did a Delete/Regenerate of the Database to get all my clips back. Now I am waiting to see if my issue is resolved.
