Better to finish off projects in one version t= han upgrade in the middle.=20 Moving forward, having CS6 installed and when CS7 comes out, will we be able= to keep both versions running on one system? Or will cs6 become deauthirize= d and inaccessable? If I upgrade to Cs7 and remove Cs6 or get a new hard dr= ive, will I still be able to access CS6 at all after Cs7 has come out? Or am= I stuck with only current versions available for download and use? ////Greg Balint ///Art Director / Motion Graphics Designer delRAZOR.com/ On Apr 25, 2012, at 4:31 AM, Elliot Steele wrote: > Well to answer (most of) my own questions... >=20 > After looking at the FAQ, I don't think it is possible to install on > multiple systems.
