== Cumulus 1 ==
Cumulus 1 software was popular, when it went public in 2008, and its usage grew very rapidly in the subsequent decade. Even now (in mid-2022) some people are still using the final release version (and a quite substantial number of public viewable weather sites are still driven by earlier builds).
The installer for the FINAL release of the legacy Cumulus 1 is available here: ▼
#[//{{SERVERNAME}}/Downloads/CumulusSetup.exe Cumulus 1099 installer] Full set of files within an installer.▼
#[//{{SERVERNAME}}/Downloads/cumulus.1099.2.zip Cumulus 1.9.4 build 1099.2 patch] Patched version of one file (Cumulus.exe) to replace that file from above installer, ▼
#*modifies the drop-down year selectors, (on "this period" screens, for NOAA reports, and for Snow Index). ▼
#*Note this is not the full installation package, just one file to replace the suite of files created by the installer, a patched .exe.▼
#**Without the patch, on the "this period" type screens you can still manually enter any year,but you have to over-type with the full year yourself.▼
Be aware, the longer you wait before swapping from legacy to Cumulus MX software; the more that MX will have developed away from the legacy. MX's development has effectively abandoned its former focus on compatibility, so you might encounter more difficulty with [[Migrating from Cumulus 1 to MX|transferring your data files when you migrate]].
