Must I first uninstall previous versions of adobe software when I install a new version?

I use creative cloud for a few years now and have always wondered why would I need a previous version of the software. Whereas these unused software versions are just sitting on my hard drive and too much room... can anyone think a good reason why I should not uninstall these older versions of software Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. ?

Thank you, Tom

It can depend on which versions are these older versions.  If these are versions of cloud so I don't think hesitated to get rid of the older ones.  But if they are of a Creative Suite if you think they have features that the newer versions were stripped of their Flash, for example, had a number of useful components ripped out of it when they came out with the version of cloud.

  • Uninstalls one adobe reader software when I installed Acrobat?

    Should I uninstall adobe reader software when I installed Acrobat? or is there a program of integrated in acrobat reader?

    Acrobat can do everything what the player can do and much more. Some people leave the reader on your computer to test the PDF files they create. If this isn't something you want to do, and then uninstall it. It may be that Acrobat will ask the uninstall when you install it. In the past, when you have uninstalled the drive after installing Acrobat, you do a repair due to some common files. It still may be the case, I'm not sure.

    So generally, uninstall Reader.

  • SmartView 11.1.2 install won't be overwritten by uninstalled previous version

    I don't know how to explain it, but my installation of SmartView 11.1.2 is to be replaced by the previous version of uninstalled (11.1.1.3).

    Windows 2008 32-bit with SPs all installed on our server, we had installed 11.1.1.3 and we uninstalled. Next, we removed the c:\hyperion directory. We rebooted and then installed smartview 11.1.2.0 which seems to go in the c:\oracle\product\smartiew directory.

    When the first new user connects and opens Excel, a small program starts to run and SmartView 11.1.2.0 gets set up and Excel shows a "Smart View" tab.

    All goes well until a user that was previously using Smartview 11.1.1.3 launches Excel... When they launch Excel it starts an installer that recreates the c:\hyperion directory and installs 11.1.1.3 and then Excel opens with a tab "Hyperion".

    New users who had previously never used 11.1.1.3 are are still in 11.1.2.0 until they have close Excel. The next time that they open they have more 11.1.2.0 SmartView tab but have instead 11.1.1.3 Hyperion tab.

    We never seen it before or have ideas on how to stop it?

    Note: I redid my steps once more. The 11.1.2.0 version installs by default to c:\oracle\smartview not c:\oracle\product\smartview.

    Also, I searched the entire server for .msi and .exe files and may have found the culprit. After running the following & selecting uninstall appears I maybe 11.1.2.0 works for all users:

    c:\Windows\Installer\ab630db.msi as of 2010-07-30 15:59 author: Oracle size: 7,223 KB.

  • Uninstalling previous versions of app?

    You uninstall earlier versions or it will replace the new facility?

    Hi Susan,.

    If you are using the creative cloud then you can have the previous versions on the computer & you don't necessarily have to uninstall them before installing the latest version.

    However, it is recommended to uninstall older products, if you have the latest version installed because most of them have the features of old on them & remove old products will create more space on the hard drive of the computer that will be beneficial to the performance of the system.

    Thank you
