Acid 4.0 rolling back to 3.0? -ACID Product Family

Subject:Acid 4.0 rolling back to 3.0? Posted by: SPP Date:8/21/2002 6:37:41 PM Does anybody know if both 3.0 and 4.0 can coexist on the same non-partitioned hard drive? I know that Acid XPress and 3.0 Pro can not. I wanted to look over XPress for a friend who was going to try it. I needed to answer a question, but I couldn't put XPress on without removing 3.0. But the real reason I ask? Can I try 4.0 without upsetting my 3.0 installation? If I try the demo or purchase 4.0 and have too much trouble with it, can I revert back to 3.0 with all my settings while I await the plethora of bug fixes to happen? 4.0 sounds real buggy. 3.0g even has its share of bugs. Any direction would be appreciated. Steve

So if you're playing with both versions, make copies of your 3.0 .acd files before using them in 4.0
