Does CS3 Overwrite DW8 on Trial Download

Question

Another basic question. Tried to get answer in FAQs for Mac
OS X but cannot find.
I use original DW8 version. I wish to download the Trial
version of CS3.
Does the CS3 downloading and then trialling overwrite the
DW8? If I do not go to paid version and the 30 days expire do I
then have problems with original DW8?
If I go to full paid version of CS3 will it work with all the
files made on DW8 without problems?
Thankx for any input.

To add to Malcolm's response, I would back up DW8 site
definitions
first, just in case.
