I just want to check that I can perform a dual version install and, more importantly, uninstall of one or the other keeping the other installation intact.
I have dongle versions of student 11.5 Landmark + Renderworks and full retail 2008 Designer + renderworks. I already have the 11.5 installed on my Windows XP laptop and want to see if 2008 will perform OK so I don't need to worry about saving files in the correct format before I use my laptop. If it does, I will uninstall 11.5, if it does not, I will keep 11.5 and uninstall 2008. Obviously I will need to use both dongles.
Are the installations kept completely separate or when uninstalling one of the installations, will it damage the other?
Finally, is there a standalone utility that can convert VW2008 versions back to earlier (ie 11.5). If I do end up running dual installations, I would like the the ability to convert 2008 files to 11.5 without having to do a save as on my main machine (Vista).
Laptop is for use at college so is covered by student license and I believe that my 2008 license covers me for use on two machines if only one is used at a time - which is forced by the dongle anyhow.
