Can I download and install PB 2021 without it affecting my PB 2019 installation? My license renews in May... does my license let me run both versions?  I have several customers using the most recent app built with PB 2019 R3 and release last September.  I will have to support their applications for several more years.  In the meantime, I'd like to go ahead and migrate the app that is currently in development to PB 2021 and start using PB 2021 for all future development.

TIA,
~~~Tracy

Hi Tracy;

  Yes, absolutely! Any number of "major" PB versions can coexist on the same machine without issue. Your Appeon PB license allows you to download any number of PB versions that you like at anytime.  ;-)

Regards ... Chris

also starting with 2019R3 - the IDE has less to do with the runtime version (newer IDE can run with older runtime version).

here you can see the 2021 IDE using the 2019R3 runtime.   so you don't even need to keep 2019R3 ide around, just the runtime.

Starting with 2019-R3 you don't have to log out. You can run 2019-R3 and 2021 at the same time.

For PB 2017 R3 it's supported with ebf 1951.
