I have Illustrator CS recently, and I can't remember how can i save my archives in older versions? I mean, i have illustrator CS, but at the print, they have illustrator 10 or older..i dont know, so i need to save my files in 10 or older versions...

I am new to this forum...and to Illustrator. I am having the same issue except that I am using CS2 and need to save as CS. Any suggestions? I tried File>Expot>Illustrator Legacy but there was no Illustrator legacy available as an option. Any other suggestions? Thanks so much!

With Illustrator CS2 (version 12.0.1 -Check About Illustrator to see your version number) When you choose Save As, Make a file name and click Save. (save as an .ai file) After clicking save, you should get the Illustrator Options Dialog Box. The dialog box has a dropdown at the top left for Version. You can select all the way back to Illustrator 3.

(This is with the full version. Are you using the full version. trial, educational?)
