Overwrite?

Post by goodwin2 » 28 Mar 2012 08:29

I have yet to receive my V5 - hoping TWR will be sending it ASAP.

Previously didn't think to ask if my full V5 will install separately or will it overwrite my 4.1.3?  Seems all previous updated versions were overwrites??

And why is that? Should be able to use two fully paid for versions if that suits ones purposes better.

????

Will be checking in here often to see if there are any immediate gliches - hopefully none or few!!!

It will overwrite. I think the logic is you would want your settings and data migrated to the new version, and if you are working on the same data there is no advantage in having two program.

V5 will overwrite v4, but will keep all your custom settings, diagrams, reports, etc. It adds features, so I don't see why you would want to run both versions?
