Installing AE CS3 on a machine with CS6

[Nico Jones]

Hi there,

I’d like to install AE CS3 on a Mac PRO that is already running CS6. It’s so I can edit some legacy projects fora company still running CS3. Anyone know if I might run into any issues?

Thanks,

Nico

I have (and had for a while now) two versions of CS on my machines- CS3 and CS4, CS4 and CS5.5, and now CS5.5 and CS6- no issues what so ever. However I never had an older version installed after I had a newer one already on the machine.

Mr. Jones I too have Ae CS5 and CS5.5 in the same system but this will not create any mess. Both of them works fine.

I’m with Tudor & Vishesh — you can have multiple installs (I have CS4, CS5.5, and CS6 installed on the workstation I’m on right now, and CS3, CS5, CS5.5, and CS6 on another).

I would highly recommend that you install them in order. If you have CS6 installed now, uninstall it, install CS3, then re-install CS6.

Hi,

just wondering if you ever managed to install CS3 on a machine running CS6? I’m about to try the same and wanted to check whether installing CS3 would remove CS6? I can’t remove CS6 first and reinstall as I no longer have the disk!

Thanks for your help,
