It it possible to install both Acid Pro 3.0 and Acid Xpress 3.0 on the same computer (I mean, two different folders and shortcuts) ?
I've tried but the installer wants to update Pro 3.0 to Xpress 3.0...

The 8-Packs seem to be compatible with any Acid version. Which tool is used to create them ?

Why would you still want Acid Express on your computer if you have Acid Pro 3.0? The 8 packs are in the resident format for any 3.0...I myself keep both Acid pro 3.0 and 4.0 on the same computer...but there are reasons for that.

I've got Acid Music 3.0, Acid DJ (Style) 3.0 AND Acid Pro 2.0 on the same computer without ever having had any problems...

God only knows WHY I still have multiple versions on there. Laziness, I guess!

I've got Acid Pro 3&4 installed in the same folder meaning the Sonic Fondry Folder never a problem. I've always kept at least two versions Pro 2&3 now Pro 3&4

To answer the original question, no, you shouldn't be able to have both XPress 3.0 and Pro 3.0 on the same machine at the same time, unless you're doing something like a dual boot perhaps. Xpress, Style, Music and Pro 3.0 all use the same registry key location for the license and only one can be active, so it's an either/or situation.

I'm not sure how David K. has Music and DJ on the same machine at the same time, but am intrigued. :) As far as RasKeita having 3.0 and 4.0 installed to the same directory (or did you mean in separate subdirectories of the same directory?), that may be a little risky (especially if you uninstall one version), but if you're not having any problems, I'll just keep quiet. :)
