Hi!

When updating Adobe After Effects to the latest version is it possible to keep the old version on the computer at the same time without having to reinstall?

Hi Michael A. Campbell,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

Yes, it is possible. When you update to a newer version, Creative Cloud shows the option if you wanna remove the old version or not.

Note: This option is only available if you're updating to the new major version and not the dot release. 

Let us know if there are any other questions.

 

Thanks,
Nishu

Why is this not possible for minor versions? 22.4 contains some major bugs, that make it unable to work on  projects. The team knows and is working on a fix I read. Untill then, I'd like to work with 22.1.1, which is still better than having to downgrade to the last major version I can keep running in parallel (18.4.6). Thanks for the update!
