Opening project done in Cadence 16.6 with Free version 25.1

VA202606266120

Good day, one question please. I am new to Cadence, and I want to open a project done with Cadence version 16.6. I have downloaded the free tryal (version 25.1), but I am not able to open it. When I try to open the .cpm file from Allegro X system capture viewer, it says that the .cpm file is not an Allegro system capture project. Also, I have been able to open the PCB file (.brd), but not an schematic files. Is it possible to open this project from version 25.1?
I see a vhdl  file, and some .map, .csv, .csd, .csb, csa, which I understand are the schematic files.

Thanks a lot in advance,

best regards.

    Hello @Elecguy . Yes, I tryed dbdoctor, from which I could see the PCB board, but not the Schematic. As I have seen/read, its because the version in which it was created.

    Good day @Zhifeng Jin. Thank you for your answer. I have been trying to open it with the system capture viewer (which comes with the free trial version), but in this version there is no possibility for "Project from Existing Design". I have suscribe for a free trial of the system capture (for Allegro X free trial request (Allegro X Free Trial | Cadence)), but havng gotten any reply yet. I will wait for this and come back.
