It doesn't seem to be a legit "Arena" app. Most reliable sources say the latest version is still the 3.5.1.
Both "arena" apps pretend to be from Martin Blume... If it's the same app, why can't I see the official 3.5.1 in the old versions?
Something's wrong with all the release dates too, so I see some red flags. Very suspicious to say the least...
I can't give more than a 1 star, and I won't download any of those versions until I have proofs this app here is legit.

Rich, I can't download this to my Windows Machine.
Something is preventing me from doing so. Ha Ha.
I saved several copies of the application to my flash drive several years ago.

After entering the first move the engine starts playing a game instead of allowing me to input moves. There doesn't seem to be a way to make 'edit' the default mode. I decided to test Arena to see if it is an alternative to commercial GUIs. I am already disappointed with Arena from the word go.

Stephan, use the "Edit" button in the PGN window, or unload the engine. Both should enable you to enter all moves for a game.
