PT8 + PT9 on the same computer?

[max-miguel]

Hi,
I instantly have PT 8 LE on my win7 computer. Now I bought PT 9 MP (full version) and want to know, whether I can install PT 9 additionally on the same computer or if I have to uninstall PT 8 first?
Thanx for help
Max

Yep, unless you set up a dual-boot on your system drive with 2 instances of Windows - one for PT8 and one for PT9.

Or do what I do and pull the system drive with the old setup, and install another system drive to run the new setup. I use Acronis True Image to clone my system drive so I can start from the same place(just uninstall the old version of PT and then install the new version). Just did this on one of my rigs with PT10(had 9 running nicely). If you have a laptop, its a few screws to swap a drive. With a desktop machine, there are plenty of SATA drive cages on the market that allow for quick drive swaps and cost about $20-30(for a single slot). I actually run 4 slot cages in my desktops so I can swap recording or sample drives too.
