Good advice all around but the most important & simplest check is....

do the listed operational frequencies on the new receiver and the old
remotes match?

I know that some of "newer" Genie remotes have a mode switch to choose
between 9 or 12 operation.

I think now that you have a 12 "only" style receiver (the receiver
does not have a mode select switch?) you have to have:

1) 12 only remotes or switchable remotes
2) matching frequencies for the remotes & the receiver
