Actually it's not difficult at all what justDoug is doing - been doing just that on my 2012 Mac cheesegrater. One partition for OSX 10.10.5 and one for OSX 10.12.6. Two partitions is easy - try three I had that going on my late iMac. Talk about a nightmare.

I know the drill, used to be in the PT7/8 beta team and had a lot of partitions for different builds... just sayin' it's a lot easier to just rename the app and install another one, if the compatibility requirements are the same.

I have a question. I have a few different versions of PT installed on my Mac. If I want to get rid of a couple of them do I have to run the uninstaller or can I just toss them in the trash?

Just get rid of them; the uninstaller also is uninstalling the default location (default name)

Simply rename the app before running the installer for the new version.
Do you know if this is still true?
Looking to have a month to month co-install of Ultimate for bigger projects that would justify having Ultimate.
Also, this doesn't negate my non-HD licence right>

Awesome thanks!

And just on my second question, the Month to month Ultimate licence is considered a different product/licence and won't negate/kill my perpetual non-HD licence right?

Every license you buy is separate from each others

You do know that Ultimate and non-Ultimate are the same program right? It comes down to the license asset on your iLok. and yes you can have multiple PT versions on your Mac - for instance I have four versions.
