Do I need to uninstall FCP before installing FCP Studio 2?

Hi all, I have Final Cut Pro Studio, FCP 5.1.4, Academic version, and recently got Final Cut Studio 2, and just wanted to check to see if I needed to completely reinstall FCP, or would just installing FCP Studio 2, do the trick?
Thanks

I'm still trying to figure out my plan of attack for installing FCS2 when it arrives today.
Randy, do you at least delete the apps before installation, or do you just put the DVDs in and go?
Most folks around here preach the complete reinstall of the OS and then installing FCS2...you don't agree?
Just trying to get all opinions here...you are cleared of any blame when/if something goes wrong!

Do I need to uninstall CS5 before installing Cloud Versions?

No need to uninstall unless you want to. Major versions can co-exist.

Already have Support Software v5.0 installed, do I need to uninstall it before installing SS v5.1? Please help!

as title.

thanks for reply.
anyway, I uninstall the older version before installing the new. for those who having trouble uninstalling Windows software try Fix it software from microsoft (thank rtheb's post).
one thing I didn't mention is that I did a fresh win8 install using boot camp assistant, but at that time the latest boot camp support services available was v4.0 which is not supposed to support win8.
later, when boot camp support services v5.0 final was released, I installed it on top of v4.0 (i.e. without uninstalling v4.0). I couldn't remember if I got a error message for that, but the computer seemed running ok except that I got a error message when uninstalling boot camp support services v5.0 this time.

Do I need to uninstall CS4 before installing CS6

Hello
I'm looking at upgrading from CS4 to CS6. Is it best practice to remove CS4 first? My concern is all work created in CS4 may have computability issues with CS6 and perhaps keeping CS4 around isn't a bad idea as a safety net...

It is not a requirement to uninstall CS4 when installing CS6. As far as upograding from CS4 to CS6 goes you should doublecheck if that is possible. For products that I am aware of there is no longer an upgrade path from CS4 to CS6, only CS5+.

I currently have LR5 and PS Elements on my Mac. Do I need to uninstall LR before installing CC?

Do I leave the current version of Lightroom on my computer and just register it with Lightroom mobile?

Thanks for confirming that. One problem I have is that Lightroom has made Photoshop Elements the default external editor. I have Portrait Pro as the second editor, so I can't integrate Lightroom with Photoshop. I've read elsewhere that if I uninstall Photoshop Elements, Lightroom should pick up Photoshop as the external editor.

Is it necessary to uninstall CS3 before installing CS4?

I currently have CS3 Premium (Student Licsense) on my MacBook. I bought CS4 Premium (also a Student License) from my college and am planning on installing that so that I will be up to date with what is in our graphic design computer lab. But I wasn't sure if I needed to uninstall CS3 before installing CS4. My school doesn't sell the upgrade so I had to buy the actual CS4. I'm pretty sure my laptop doesn't have room for both, but I just wanted to get some feedback on all of this so that I can make sure I'm doing everything correctly.
I was also wondering if my CS3 files that are currently saved on my MacBook will be effected in any way when I uninstall CS3 and install CS4?

No need to uninstall.
In fact its wise to keep the older version until you are familiar with the new version. I have almost all versions of Photoshop going back to 2.5.1 as well as the 4 creative Suites happily installed and working together on my G5.

Do I need to uninstall CS5 before loading CS6?

Do I need to uninstall CS5 before loading CS6? I purchased the full version of CS6.

Hi pamelakirkpatrick ,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You dont need to uninstall existing version to install new version.
You might consider wiping the existing version if you no longer use it as storing multiple versions can occupy a lot of hard disk space.
Please reply for any assistance.
Thanks

Do I need to backup harddrives before install lion

Do I need to backup hardrives before installing lion, on mac-pro. I have tons of pictures and video, and 2 harddrives, i have some on external hard drive, but not current stuff, and wanting to upgrade to Lion. Please advise. I am sure most are going to say back up, back up. I guess I want to know if I will lose pics, documents, mail, if I upgrade.

>Do I need to backup hardrives before installing lion, on mac-pro. \
That's a bit like asking, do I need to wear seatbelts? Seriously if you value your data, you need to backup your data, not just when installing Lion, but when installing anything, when making changes to your data, when renaming data. Backing up is not an option, it is a must in the computing world. See my backup FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
>I guess I want to know if I will lose pics, documents, mail, if I upgrade.
You could, in fact in one thread, someone backed up with Time Machine, and still lost pics because they didn't ensure their Time Machine had in fact backed up the pictures they wanted. A clone backup is the only backup that ensures everything is backed up. Anything can be lost in an upgrade too. See what I have to say about other Lion pitfalls:*

Do I need to uninstall FF3 b4 installing FF4?

I would simply like to know if I should uninstall FF3 before installing FF4?

You can uninstall Firefox 3 before if you want, but it is not required, you can simply install Firefox over your current version.
I prefer uninstalling the old version and making sure all the Firefox files and folder have been removed from the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory]. If you do this, when uninstalling Firefox make sure you do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data", if you select that option it will delete all of your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.

Do I need to uninstall drivers from install CD before updating to 2.09.00

Hi,
Re X Fi Fatalty Sound Card.
I have finally got everything working (more or less) properly by installing from the Installation CD.
Now i would like to update the drivers.
Please tell me whether I can simply install over the existing files, or do I need to uninstall everything again, before updating to the latest drivers available on the Creative website?
Many thanks
Palmer.

e don't need to uninstall... the proper way is run the driver update with all intalled!

I need to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic and need to know if I must back up all my bookmarks to a disk first.

I have had on-going problems with communication between my Lexmark X3650 printer/scanner/copier and my Dell Vostro PC. Dell has instructed me to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic to my PC. I need to know if I will lose my Firefox bookmarks when I do this (I am waiting for them to send me the Vista disk before I can re-install). Will my bookmarks be saved on Firefox? Will I have to re-load my Firefox browser? I am certainly no computer whiz buy I simply cannot afford to lose all these links (collegiate workbooks and course-work submission links etc.). HELP!

You can backup the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager.
You can export the bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
You can also create a JSON backup:
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
An HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup.<br />
Restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks, so existing bookmarks are lost.<br />
Importing an HTML backup will merge the imported bookmarks with existing bookmarks, so you do not lose the bookmarks that you already have, but you may get duplicate bookmarks if some already exist.
