Does old AM version need to be removed?

Recommended Posts

My upgrade arrived today and it's the version with the Yeti on the CD. I already have A:M 2000 (Dennis, but updated to 8.5) on my machine. Do I need to uninstall 8.5 before installing this new version?

 

I have all my old models and related files in a separate work directory away from the program, but I'm assuming there may be some problems pulling files created six years ago into what may be a new file format. Will I need to pull in each old model I want to use, tweak them and resave before doing anything else with them? Will there be anything I should especially look out for, like missing patches?

You can leave 8.5 installed and still run V13.

 

Note: If you save projects from V13 you will NOT be able to open them with V8.5.

 

Also, you may have some problems importing V8.5 files. I can't recall at this time.

 

I have V10.5, V12 and V13 currently installed and I can run any of them I choose, or one of each at the same time. (Good for comparing imported projects/models to the originals)

 

Give a shout if you need help...

All right, thanks much, MMZ. I'm really excited about getting acquainted with AM again.

 

EDIT: I looked at the few of my older models and haven't yet noticed anything abnormally wrong with them, but they are admittedly crude anyway.
