Default Re: Uninstall prior to crossgrade?

The general rule of thumb is to do a clean install whenever possible. It is the perfect time to clean out the files. Some folks go so far as to reinstall the OS from scratch (or at least a from a backup image). I was too impatient and did the updater on one of my systems and everything worked fine. So the absolute answer is "no" you don't have to uninstall PT8 to install PT9. The best answer however, is "yes" it is recommended to uninstall PT8 and do a full install of PT9.
