Uninstall Elements 9 after installing 10?

When I installed the update to Elements 10 (Photoshop & Premier) I expected that it would replace the earlier version.  It didn't and now I have both versions on my computer.  Is there any harm in deactivating the earlier version and uninstalling?
Thank you.

No, the worst that could happen (usually doesn't) is that a common file shared by both versions might get uninstalled in the process, in which case you'd have to reinstall PSE 10 again. I don't use PRE, but I would guess the answer is the same for it.

    Should I uninstall Elements 11 after installing Elements 12?

    You don't have to and if you use any of the features removed in v12 (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1302663?tstart=0) you might want to keep it.

  • Is it safe to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

    Is it safe to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?  I just upgraded from 10 to 12 and wanted to know if it is safe or if there would be any issues with uninstalling and removing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. 

    Yes you can, if you are happy with the way PSE12 is running.
    However both apps will happily co-exist, and there is no duplication as both use the same images on your hard drive.
    PSE10 also has some features now removed from PSE12 as Adobe transitions towards 64 bit applications. See my PSE12 first look link:

    problem if both version co-exist.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot enter text in Elements 11 after installing PS CC and LR 5

    After downloading installing PhotoShop CC and LightRoom 5, I cannot enter text in PS Elements 11.  I get the message that "something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
    How do I correct this?

    Did you reboot the machine after installing the new applications?  In windows 7 and Windows 8 it is almost always required to reboot the machine.  sometimes it does it automatically but sometimes it doesn't but it is a good idea to manually RESTART the machine.
    Hope this helps.

  • Attempting to uninstall Elements 10 before installing Elements 11.  Uninstall crashes - help.

    Have made many attempts to uninstall Elements 10 but it crashes early in the process. Something about the specified path not found. Please help.

      Are you using the uninstaller for PSE10 or on Windows Add/Remove programs via the control panel?
    See this link for manually removing the software. It relates to the latest version but you can possibly adapt it.
