Sure. ATM I only have Moho 12.4 on my laptop but I used to keep every version on it, mainly for testing purposes. On my desktop, I may still have every version active, including Moho 13. The most recent license allows you to activate a serial number on up to three computers. I don't know what the terms will be with the next version though...TBD.
Something else worth commenting on for new users: The tutorial files seem like they haven't been updated much since V 11, and there are several things that don't work quite the way the are described but not a biggie.
The UI was streamlined quite a bit (I think that occurred between ASP 11 or Moho 12.) Basically, several common tools were combined to make the program easier and more efficient to work with. Once you get used to it, you won't want to go back to an earlier version.

(Well, except for Moho 13.0, which has too many bugs and unfinished features. I went back to Moho 12.4 shortly after its release. The new owners, Lost Marble, are currently working on 13.5, which should fix the many of the problems with 13.0.)
There are links throughout the tutorial PDF saying to click the link to see more about a topic but they are all broken and go to page that says the page is insecure and may be trying to steal your information so obviously I didn't click there. I hate to think they might lose customers when someone does the demo, works thru the tutorials and finds the broken links.
Yes, the movie links in the manual are broken. I discovered that a few days ago myself. This is likely because that data was stored on servers at Smith Micro, which no longer owns or supports Moho. The broken links may eventually be addressed by the new owners, Lost Marble, after they start releasing their version of Moho. I believe Lost Marble is doing what they can to support past 'Smith Micro' versions of Moho, but right now they're a bit busy developing the next 'Lost Marble' version of Moho.

As for clicking on the links, you can do it but nothing will happen. They're dead links.

I think in general, the information in the manual is still valid, but you'll want to look at YouTube videos for coverage of more recent features.

FYI, I'm finishing up some Moho basics walkthrough videos, which introduces new users to the UI and workflow. Just be advised that the videos feature Moho 12.4, and pretend that Moho 13 doesn't exist yet (until 13.5 comes out anyway.) I'll follow up with videos about advanced features and the techniques I use in my personal projects and at my workplace. Keep an eye here for more information: Little Green Dog Explains

Hope this helps.

Might have been Smith Micro it was the contact email from where I downloaded the demo for 13. The provided PDF tutorial document not only has the broken links but in several cases the content isn't accurate anymore, like it wasn't updated and checked against the sample files. I have found a lot of YouTube videos by others to more useful.
