Installing 2 version of Logic on same computer?

I'm on location on a remote island in the North Atlantic.  I have Logic Studio 8 installed on my personal laptop.  All the other computers (Mac Pro's) in the studio here are on Logic Studio 9.  I want to use my own laptop coz I have Omnisphere, RMX, etc., which we will need for this project.
I am ordering an upgrade to Studio 9 from Apple, but it will be weeks before it arrives via the local post.  Even FEDEX is super slow out here.
The outfit here has at least 6 authorized versions of Logic Studio 9, some of which haven't been installed yet.
I'd like to just install one of their versions, BUT KEEP MY OWN VERSION 8 ALSO INSTALLED for when my upgrade arrives.  Once my upgrade arrives I'll strip out their version ... or is there a way just to change the registration numbers and not have to re-install the whole setup again?  (I don't think so, but it would be cool.)
Any advice would be most appreciated?
Mainly what I'm concerned about is: if I install version 9, will I have any conflicts if I leave version 8 also installed?
All ears,
Ben

Hi Ben,
in general, installing Logic Pro 9 keeps Logic Pro 8 (and just in case, you can also just copy the current Logic version in the applications folder). Maybe there could be an issue with the receipts bundle, which is used to check if a new version needs to be installed. So despite deleting the Logic Pro 9 app, when yours arrive, you may probably also need to deleted to receipt and maybe the preferences settings, before you install your version.
I think that it should not be an issue, but nevertheless I recommend to make a backup of your drive just in case anything goes wrong. Over here, I have multiple different versions of Logic installed and can switch without much of a problem.
Cheers
Tom

  • Using 2 versions of itunes on same computer

    I currently have a Mini using Version 5.?, having upgraded and had problems in the past with the various Quicktime versions that accompany it. I want to stick to this version.
    I have bought my daughter a nano - which will need a different version of itunes.
    Can she install it on her desktop of same computer without effecting my installation? Or should she install it on her brothers lap top? You can hear the arguments already!!!

    she shouldn't have to upgrade anything with respect to itunes. the nano only needs version 4.9 to run properly:

  • Due to Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer I uninstalled the program.  When I re-installed Photoshop Elements 12 on the same computer the "Photoshop Elements 12.0.exe" file is not available.  I have tried loading Photoshop Elements 12 from the Adobe web site

    Due to Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer I uninstalled the program.  When I re-installed Photoshop Elements 12 on the same computer the "Photoshop Elements 12.0.exe" file is not available.  I have tried loading Photoshop Elements 12 from the Adobe web site without success.

    The Elements 12 shortcut can't find the Elements12.0.exe file so the program will not load.  I can load the editor from its .exe file but not the organizer.

  • How do I install Reader Version 8 and Version 11 on the same computer?

    I have old fillable forms that will not work with the free reader above vesion 8.  I also have programs that require the free reader version or above.  I am trying to get both the free reader versions 8 and 11 on the same computer.  When I installed version 11, version 8 was removed.  When I tried to reinstall version 8 the message said I had a more up to date version and the install stopped.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the suggestion, it worked!  What I had to do was after steps 1 & 2
    3.  move the entire Version 8 folder to a flash drive
    4.  reinstall Version 11
    5.  add a new folder called Adobe 8 to the program file directory
    6.  copy Version 8 folder from flash drive file to new folder
    7.  add shortcut to desktop.
    Now I can open my old forms in Version 8 and edit and save them.
    Thanks again.

  • Multiple versions of PSE on same computer.

    Can multiple versions of PSE be installed and used on one computer, e.g. PSE5, PSE8, PSE11, and PSE 13.  Will there be conflict or other kinds of problems?  Are the different versions in any way connected or are they each entirely stand alone with "touching" each other?  Or, another way of putting this is, do I have to uninstall prior versions of PSE before installing a newer version on the same computer?  Thanks for any advice you can offer.

    rgthoman a écrit:
    Is this true of the organizer as well as the editor?  If files are stored in the organizer of one version, are they readily accessible for editing in another version?
    That has nothing to do with several versions. Files are NOT stored in the organizer. They are somewhere on your drive(s). If you have a single Elements version and several catalogs pointing to the same files on your drive(s), each catalog will be able to access the same files... until you move, rename or delete them from another catalog.

  • Managing Multiple Versions of LabVIEW on same Computer

    With a new version of LabVIEW coming out every year, and service packs every 6 months, what is the best way of keeping different versions of LabVIEW (8.6, 2009, 2010 SP1) on the same computer, without being effected by new installations?
    I have read up on some people using virtual machines to do this. From past experience with virtual machines, I remember only being able to
    use a single monitor with the VM. However, it is very helpful to have 2 monitors when programming; are there VMs that can run in 2 monitors (just like
    a normal OS?)
    Thanks for the input.

    LV 6.1, 8.6.1, 2011 SP1, 2012 SP1

    Hi Jim,
    I have installed multiple versions of LabVIEW on the same PC.  When doing upgrades, such as a service pack, it does not affect other installed versions.  This was done as a regular install in the OS, not using Virtual Machines.
    I have been doing this since 2001, and for some customers, they have versions ranging from 6.1 to 2009.  Only in one recent situation has there been an unusual event with multiple parallel installations.  It was due to a DAQmx driver installation (long story).
    Overlaping drivers should not be an issue.  The issue with the DAQmx driver was that I forced to revert a LV8.2 driver by cheating on the installation.  It worked for 8.2 but screwed up something in 2010.  That was because I did not install the DAQmx drivers the way they were supposed to be installed. 

  • Two Versions of Itunes on same Computer

    Hey guys, my brother has an Ipod and I'm going to get one. I was wondering if Windows can run two Itunes on the same computer. Since Itunes goes with a certain Ipod, I just wanted to know if I install it will it delete his Itunes, or will it not show up at all for me.

  • Can I install Mountain Lion and Mavericks on same computer

    Stupidly I installed Mavericks over Mountain Lion without checking whether Quark XPress 9.5.3.1 would work with Mavericks.
    It won't.
    I have re downloaded Mountain Lion and need to know whether I can run both on same computer - and how to do that - any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    ... There is NO way you can have Mountain Lion and Mavericks on the same computer.
    Sure you can. Erase one of your partitions and install the OS of your choice on it. You can have as many operating systems on a Mac as you want. Use Startup Manager to select the OS you want to boot. Virtualization software is another option.
    Both the Mavericks and Mountain Lion installers will permit you to select the partition on which it is to be installed.
    If you don't tell us the errors that resulted from using Lion Disk Maker no one can begin to guess the reason, but no matter, you don't need the USB installer. Just use the App Store.
    You can save the installer anywhere you like to use as often as you wish, so you don't have to download it each time.
    It looks like this
    You have to copy it before running the installer because the installer conveniently erases the 5+ GB file after the installer is finished with it.

  • Can i install developer9i and developer6i in the same computer

    Dear Friends
    I have installed the developer suit 9i, and also I would like to install developer oracle 6i in the same
    workstation .Can I do that ?if can ,can you give me the replay in details , very urgent
    Best regards
    LoLo

    Does anyone know if there is a particular order in which you should install these items, 9i and 6i?
    It only seemed to work for me installing the database subsequent to the Forms. My first install in which forms was installed after the database, featured a recurring windows error until I dropped and reloaded the database.It could have been a bad database, but it was working just fine.

  • LR Photo Import from Camera suddenly not working (5.7.1) - States "Some import operations were not imported becuase they could not be read."  Works on another computer and 4.3 version of LR on same computer but not newly installed LR 5.7.1 cc 2014.

    As above, all of a sudden, on one computer I cannot download from either the Canon 50D or 70D into LR 5.7.1.  It will download on another computer as well as on this computer in an older version of LR (4.3).  When I first turned on the computer this morning, I also got an error message that "The Lightroom catalog named 'Lightroom 5 Catalog" cannot be opened because another application already has it opened."  It was a cold boot, so I am not sure what is happening. 

    For the second problem being that the catalog is open in another application, go to the folder containing your catalog. You will find a file with the .lock extension. This is a file created by the catalog, and is automatically deleted when the catalog closes normally. Sometimes it can get left behind. You need to delete that file.
    When Lightroom says that the file cannot be read, it usually means that it cannot be written to the chosen destination. This tends to be a permissions problem in your operating system. Check to make sure you have write permission for the folder you are trying to import your images to.

    I am currently running oracle 8i on hp unix 11i.
    I would like to ask whether I could run another instance(another oracle 8i database ) on the same machine.
    In another word can I run two database on the same machine?
    Is there any implication by doing so?
    Thanks in advance Hi,
    You can create multiple databases on the same machine, if you have sufficient resources.
