Do I need to uninstall academic version before installing retail version?

I've been using my academic version of Final Cut Studio professionally and decided that I would buy the retail version when Studio 3 came out. So I purchased the New Version and am about to install. Since this is a full version, and not an upgrade version, I'm wondering if I need to uninstall my academic version of Studio 2 first?

Read this thread for some great tips:

Your new full version should just overwrite the old one in any case, but Jerry and the others give sound advice in the thread linked above.

  • Do I need to uninstall pages '08 before installing the newest version?

    I bought a new MacPro in November 2013 and the technician transferred my iLife 'o8 package with Pages in it. 
    Can I install the newest Pages and Numbers over the existing ones, or do I need to uninstall the old ones first?
    Can't seem to find a straight answer on the internet.
    Thanks for a quick yes or no!  If it's a 'yes', do you know how, or have a link that says how?

    The deal is I want the pages in my iPad mini to talk with the pages version on the laptop.  That's the only reason I even want it since I usually use Microsoft Office, which talks to my windows friends with more ease.
    Just in case anyone else is reads this thread, I just discovered that in the app store that when I clicked on 'purchases' there was a section that said I could download pages, numbers, and keynote for free.  I was ready to purchase them individually.  Saved from my own folly at the last minute...
    Thanks again Fruhulda - if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found the free stuff.

  • Do i need to uninstall excel 2004 before installing 2011?

    I am upgranding to Lion and Microsoft Excel and Office will not run under Lion.
    I am upgrading to office 2011.
    Do I need to uninstall office 2004 prior to installing 2011.
    If so how do I unintall 2044.
    thanks

    Not a bad idea to remove the old first. There is a removal tool. I don't have Office 2004 on a computer here but, in Office 2008, this path of drives and folders leads to the Uninsaller:
    Macintosh HD > Applications > Microsoft Office 2008 > Additional Tools > Remove Office
    Although the path may be slightly different in 2004, I think the tool has been named "Remove Office" for most versins of Office. If all eles fails, try a Spotlight search for it.
    Note that the uninstaller will not affect Office files you have created.

  • Do I need to uninstall CS5.5 before installing CS6 apps from Creative Cloud?

    The video suggests you uninstall any Beta versions but says nothing about previous version of the apps.

    Hi. I left CS5 on, installed CS6. There was a problem with the shortcuts but both CS6 and CS5 work. What I just found was that although files (.jpg in this case) opened through Bridge CS6 in Photoshop CS6, Windows Explorer still has CS5 associated with opening the file type. I could change that file type by file type but would guess there's a better way to get all file associations moved from CS5 to CS6. Thanks!

  • Do you uninstall old verison before installing new Version of Java

    I have read on Suns website you should keep older versions installed due to some pages will need it to view properly. I have read many different opinions some say keep them installed and others say remove them.
    What is the right answer?
    This is my current version from the Console Screen
    Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.2_01
    Using JRE version 1.4.2_01 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
    This information is from the about screen
    Java 2 platform standard edition
    Version 1.4.2_01 (build 1.4.2_01-b06)
    I have Windows XP Media Center 2005 Edition (SP2) Intel P4 3.4 GHz, 2GB ram
    Please advise

    I keep most of my installations, but it's enough to keep one of each major version. I.e one 1.4, one 1.5, and so on.

  • I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version?

    I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version? I ask because this is not an upgrade, but a completely new version.

    I'm with Jim on this.  It always seems to work out better if you do not install over another version.  You can use this app (freeware - thanks to Jon Chappel) to completely remove ALL Final Cut Studio apps and components: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    Once that's done, install your newly purchased version.

    Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
    Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
    CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
    How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?

    It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10.  You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
    You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

  • I have CS6 demo loaded on my Vista 64 bit pc. do I need to uninstall it prior to installing CC?

    well?

    Yes, in any case you need to uninstall beta version before install and running production version.
    I recommend you to refer CC system requirement for each and specific application and service

  • I just purchased Elements 12. Should i uninstall Elements 6 before installing Elements 12?

    I just purchased Elements 12. Should i uninstall Elements 6 before installing Elements 12?

    Hi Dm606,
    You don't need to uninstall Photoshop Element 6 before installing
    Photoshop Element12.
    However, it is totally your decission to uninstall PSE6 but it won't give you any
    problem if both version co-exist.
    Hope this helps.
    Please let me know if you have any other question.
    Regards,

  • Should I uninstall current CS6 before installing CreativeCloud app?

    Should I uninstall current CS6 before installing CreativeCloud app?
    I have the CS6 Master Suite and have kept it updated, do I need to uninstall that before installing the creative cloud apps?

    Not necessary. CC will recognise existing installs and simply substitute the licensing.

  • Uninstall iWork '08 before installing iWork '09?

    What's the official / recommended way of doing things? Are you supposed to uninstall iWork '08 before installing iWork '09. I installed iWork '09 on a MacBook, but it didn't replace iWork '08. It installed alongside it.
    Is there a proper way of uninstalling iWork '08, or do you simply drag the iWork '08 folder (containing the 3 apps) to the Trash?

    You're not going to find an "official" way to delete from the other users here, but we can give our recommendations. Uninstalling is as easy as dragging the whole iWork '08 folder to the Trash & emptying the Trash. You can also use some third-party app deleting programs such as AppZapper.
    For the moment, I have iWork '06, '08 & '09 installed on my MacBook Pro. I'm waiting for my boxed version of iWork '09 to arrive before installing it on my iMac. I want to see how installing from the CD/DVD is different than installing over the trial. I have not had '08 & '09 both open at the same time yet, but I have had '06 & '08 open at the same time in the past.
