Dear all,

 

I've seen that for the users of Prime 9 with a valid license, the Prime 11 upgrade is available.

 

I'd like instead to have both versions (to be used not at the same time obviously!).

 

Is it possible? If yes with what procedure?

 

Thanks

 

Best Regards

As far as I know:

-You can have all versions of Prime installed and usable on the same machine, at the same time, and you can run multiple instances of the same version on the same computer. The only restriction is that they must be installed in sequential order (from older to newer versions).

-A license for prime 11 also allows you to use Prime 7, 8, 9 and 10. It doesn't work the other way: A license for Prime 9 does NOT allow to use Prime 10, or 11. There may be licensing schemes that allow you to install the latest version every time a new version comes out.

 

Success!
Luc
