Topic: Updating Lumion program. Unistall previous versions?

[Macattack329]

When updating Lumion do you need to uninstall previous versions? My program files shows Lumion 5.3, 5.7.1., & now 5.7.2.

Thanks.

Never mind... I registered my Lumion and found the answer in the commercial section. Sorry

Hi Macattack329, good to hear you already found the answer yourself

If anyone else wants to know, the answer is that you don't have to uninstall previous versions of Lumion when you install a new version. Just make sure you install the new version in its own folder, not in existing installation folders.

However, in some cases we recommend you uninstall once any current projects using a version are completed. 

Or, in the case sometimes of issues fixed in a subsequent version, we do recommend moving to the fix version and uninstalling the older one so that you do not accidentally open the scene in the wrong version.  For example v5.7.1 resolved some issues in v5.3 so v5.7.1 should be used and v5.3 uninstalled. V5.7.2 is the recommended version because of some enhancements and a fix on v5.7.1.  Phew     

Check the Release Notes published for each update, and if in doubt, then ask about moving to a newer version.

So, (briefly) V5.7.2 is the current and recommended version, and all prior versions should be uninstalled.
