Hi Team,
We have taken database backup from our old server installed with Act Premium 2011(Web) having Microsoft SQL Server 2008 -Express Edition(RTM, Build 10.50.1600.1)
Now, We have installed Act Premium 2010 on laptop( Windows 8) and updated SQL server 2008 - Express Edition(SP2, Build 10.50.4000.0) and we could create new database and its working fine.
However, when we try to restore database from old server the database was successfully restore but while opening the restore database getting message " This database has been updated to work with a more current version of ACT! You must update your copy of ACT! in order to log on to this database"
Later,after going through support knowledge base trooubleshooting.
We have updated SQL Server version same as in old Server i.e SQL Server 2008 -Express Edition(RTM, Build 10.50.1600.1) in laptop(Windows 8) for Act Premium 2010 and tried to restore database.
Below are the results
The database was successfully restore but while opening the restore database getting message " This database has been updated to work with a more current version of ACT! You must update your copy of ACT! in order to log on to this database"
Request you to help on this database restore issue.

Try doing a Restore As rather than a Restore and see if that works.

ACT! doesn't allow restoring a database backed up with a later database schema to an install using an earlier database schema. This is true of major versions and service packs within a single version.
