Can Robohelp6 and Robohelp7 co-exist on a machine?

I write for a few different groups, some with Robohelp 6 and some with 7.
For life to be good, I really need to have versions 6 and 7 installed on my machine. I have a license for each - my department bought version 6, and another department bought me a copy of version 7. But - when I installed 7, 6 was un-installed.

I can't develop my other projects in 7, because they won't be able to support it once I'm done (because they still have 6).

Can these two co-exist?

Hi there

I currently have the following all installed and peacefully coexisting side by side on the same PC.

RoboHelp X5
RoboHelp 6
RoboHelp 7
RoboHelp 8

So I'm going to go so far as to blatantly claim that version 6 and 7 together will work. What you can't do is to expect to use 7 to edit projects and still use 6 to edit the same projects.

There is another issue that might be at play too. If 7 was purchased as an upgrade for 6, the licensing probably prevents you from leaving 6 installed and also installing 7. You would have to have purchased full versions of each to do so.

Cheers... Rick
