Upgrading bigbox

Hey there, Stupid question, but I've been googling for answers and forum searching for a while and can not find an answer. So, I've asked the developers for a 10.1 version of BigBox solely to run the NesicaXLive 2020 theme, and I am very grateful for them passing me the version of bigbox needed to run it. Now, I'd like to see what the newest updated themes and what option bigbox has in store in new updates. I'd like to do it seperately so the BigBox 10.1 version doesn't get replaced. Problem is, I can not find a way to update BigBox. So, I am stuck with the previous version is seems for the time-being. It isn't a matter of renewal, since I've purchased a Forever license. My launchbox is updated to 13.14. Any one know how to get an updated BigBox, preferably quarantined from 10.1 so it doesn't erase it (I have Nesica theme just how I want it, and it takes some damn effort)?

 

Also, throwing this out there as another question...How about disabling the Launchbox Update question from Bigbox so it doesn't pop-up? 

 

Appreciate anyone's time. Thank you!

I'm curious as to how you have LaunchBox 13.14 and BigBox 10.1 setup.  Are they in the same folder (as per typical)?  I guess that's pretty cool considering they're about 4 and half years apart.  If you have 2 separate LaunchBox installs (one with v10.1 and the other current [10.14]), that makes more sense.

To disable updates, open LaunchBox and go to Tools - Options - Updates and uncheck all the Boxes.

Yea, I needed it to run Nesica2020 theme. Doesn't work on newly update BigBox. Yea, the bigbox doesn't update with launchbox updates. I asked for roll-back, and they obliged. Very awesome of them. Figured it out though, in case anyone falls into this predicament. Just re-download launchbox and copy/paste license and be sure to install in a separate folder from any roll-backed Bigbox. It came with new BigBox so it works now.
