Frame 9 and 10 - SOLVED

[Alison Craig]

Jeremy:

I've received lots of good advice. Most people say having 2 simultaneous versions on the same machine is fine - unless you want to uninstall one. That being the case, if the trial is actually a download, I'm going to load it on my old (current) machine after I get my new machine next week. 

I'll only get a few days to play with it before they take away the old system, but I'm really only looking for any "wow" upgrades that would make my life 200% easier. Anything less and I couldn't begin to justify the expense - particularly as my new (currently on order) system with software updates (excluding a monitor) is about $1900.

Simple.  Don't do it.  Install the FM10 or TCS3 trial
on a non-production machine only.  You may find that
any previous Frame version stops working, if not when
you install the demo, then when you remove the demo or
it expires.  It may be sufficient to install it in its
own virtual machine, but I wouldn't risk a system on
which my livelihood depended...

Just my opinion.  ;-)
