Maybe. But why not upgrade to the latest version 8?!? Version 6 is completely outdated for some time now…

What Version of MacOS are you running?

As @RapidBase pointed out the latest version is RW8. The upgrade from RW 4.x is pretty much rebuild the site(s). If you are running MacOS 10.12 or higher then RW8 is the way to go.

RW 7.5.x is the newest for that macOS.

Not sure about upgrading licenses.

You can get older versions here:

I’m sure RealMac will upgrade you to RW7. You probably will need to contact them, the online Upgrade process will give you a serial number for RW8.
