Have I searched the tickets before posting? yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? No
Joomla! version: 2.5.7
PHP version: build site: 5.3 production site: 5.2
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: build site: Hostgator production site: Godaddy
Admin Tools version: build site: 2.4.1 production site: none yet

Description of my issue:
I am installing a website onto a Godaddy host that is running php 5.2.17. However my build site contains Admin Tools 2.4.1. From your documentation, php 5.2 supports up to Admin Tools version 2.3.x. If this is correct, I believe I need to roll back from Admin Tools 2.4.1 to Admin Tools 2.2.10 (last stable release before 2.4.x). Can you please provide downgrade instructions. Thanks!

The only way to downgrade is to uninstall the newer version and install the new one, losing all your settings. You don't need to do that, though. Admin Tools 2.4.x still supports PHP 5.2.

That said, PHP 5.2 has been end of life for two years. It is vulnerable and unsupported by the PHP project. Many extensions require PHP 5.3. If your host won't upgrade to PHP 5.3 please move to a decent host.
