How to download old versions of Isaac Sim

Due to development requirements, I need an older version of Isaac Sim 2023.1.1.
But I found that the option for version 2023.1.1 is no longer available in Omniverse, so how can I get that version?

Thank you for your inquiry. We’re curious about your specific need for version 2023.1.1 of Isaac Sim. Could you please provide more context on why you require this particular version instead of the latest release (4.2.0)?

Many previous open source projects used isaacgym, which requires an older version of isaac sim. During the migration process, we also need isaacgym’s program to be able to run.

I also need isaac sim2023.1.1.
Because I’m used to using ros1

I also need the 2023.1.1 version for that the omnigibson relies on it to set up. When I try to use omnigibson with 2023.1.0-hotfix.1, I met the problems below:

So I do need the 2023.1.1 version to continue with omnigibson

Though it could be resolved by [Bug Report] no module named omni.usd · Issue #415 · isaac-sim/IsaacLab · GitHub

I think that new versions introduce new critical bugs or break compatibility with custom applications.

I would also want to downgrade and try Isaac Sim 2023.1.1 in the scope of my current problems with 4.1.0, 4.2.0, etc.

Like this one: Degradation of rendering capabilities of Isaac-sim on 4.2.0 and 4.1.0 - #2 by Turowicz

It is very strange to hide once released versions from the public domain, from the perspective that isaac-sim is positioned as a sandbox == many many many bugs, which people fix by themselves, which is ok for such type of application.

Check out the topics created by me. Every release I post a lot of threads to solve compatibility issues after the updates.

4.1->4.2 has been suprisingly good for me, but only because it works fine in headless docker which is my main workflow (kubernetes).

PS. While posting those issues I’ve been asked via DM by an nvidia exec if I am a paying customer. I didn’t reply, but yes I think they should totally pay me for providing repros to majority of topics. /s

@Turowicz did you find solution to this issue of module named omni.usd which comes with compactability issues with streamsdk

ROS1 is deprecated in version 4.2.0 but still functional. However, it will become obsolete in a future version.

Sorry I never had this problem

I found an old version of Isaac Sim on an old computer, and to solve this problem, I want to share it with everyone. Anyone who has the same problem needs an old version. Please note that I am only trying to solve this problem and have no other intention. Please comply with Isaac Sim’s license. If there is anything inappropriate, please let me know and I will withdraw the sharing.

You can still access older versions, as shown in NGC, through Container Installation.

However, please note that older versions of Isaac Sim have security vulnerabilities that are only fixed in the newer versions. This is one of the reasons why we recommend using the latest version.
