Safe to uninstall older versions of VSP?

Post by ptbpilot »

I have old versions of VSP X3 X5 and X7 installed. Since X9 was a FULL install not an upgrade, and they provided me with a new activation key, is it safe to uninstall the previous versions? (X3 was a full install with X5 and X7 being upgrades)

Thank you.

It is not necessary to uninstall previous versions of VS, but you can if you wish, it will have no effect on VSX9
But if you do require to reinstall VSX7, being an upgrade, it will also ask for the VSX5 key as well as the VSX7 key

You can uninstall but... if for ever reason you have old projects files (.vsp)you may need or want to reedit, X9 might not read them or read them incorrectly.
If you do not carry any leftovers from the past you can uninstall.
