I don’t think you should trying to do it another way since you make sure that the previous method is working, you just have to try to find a way to avoid the version problem, I think that the same simulation should work on your version only there may be a slight change in the method, as you saw in the tutorial when they check Update Live the link is created but when I did the same thing with me nothing happened until I click Create, you may need some slight changes like this to work for you, you could also read the help to make sure how the simulation works on your version.
