Hi all,

I currently have CR2011 and CR 10 installed on my computer. Now, because of applications I work in, I need to also have CR2008. Does anybody know if there are any conflicts with having both CR2008 and CR2011 installed? Thanks!

I have never had any (sometimes I use the wrong version for the situation I am :) ).
 
Hi kray4660 -

Thanks for getting back to me. This was very helpful. Yes, I sometimes open the wrong version too [wink].

I do multiple versions all the time, but the usual rule is to install them in chronological order. So if you have any issues I would uninstall 2011 and reinstall it after 2008.

Hi Ken,

Thank you for that tip. Since I already have 2011 installed, what kind of issues might I experience when they install 2008?

I am not sure since I never break the rule, but the goal is to make sure old files with the same name don't replace the newer files. But it will probably not cause a problem since 2011 is almost identical to 2008, and the installers are now better at managing duplicate files.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for explaining that to me. I passed your words of wisdom on to my IT dept and they can decide how they want to handle this.

Have a great day!
