I just purchased the AE 7 upgrade. Should I delete 6 first?
I just purchased AE 7 upgrade. Should I delete 6 first?
I haven’t tried installing yet, but it seems like this 7 upgrade might be a full install (not just a patch). I’m afraid that if it is a full install, and I decide to delete 6 afterwards, I might accidentally delete some 7 files. Will the 7 upgrade automatically detect 6 and overwright it? What is the proper way to procede?Thanks in advance,
Ian. -

Don’t worry about it. Just install 7.0.
Adobe’s upgrades always install the full application. Uninstalling the previous version also won’t cause any issues for the new version.

It asks me to select a folder to place it in. Should I choose the “Applications” folder or the old version 6 folder?

Choose the Applications folder. Don’t put it inside the old version’s folder.

I always create an ADOBe folder inside the Applications folder and put all my Adobe apps there. I also create an AE Plug-ins and PS Plug-Ins folder for the After Effects and Photoshop 3rd party plug-ins. Then I create aliases to these folders and put them into the correct Plug-Ins folder for the apps. This way I can share my plug-ins with other apps that might be able to use them and I only have to install them once.
Bear in mind that not all plug-ins from AE6 will work in 7.
