Can I have After Effects 2022 and 2023 installed at the same time?

Hey Everybody!

I'm using the current version of AE, but the company for whom I am freelancing only uses AE 2022. Can I have both AE 2022 and 2023 installed at the same time? When I go to 'older versions' on Creative Cloud, it says that "Installing this version of After Effects will remove the version that is currently installed, along with any updates.....".

Thanks for your help!

I understand that you wish to install and use two versions at the same time however, you will not be able to do so. You can only use and install one version at one time.

Hi There,

 

We appreciate you writing to us. Happy to help!

 

I understand that you wish to install and use two versions at the same time however, you will not be able to do so. You can definitely install two versions but only use one version at one time.

 

Also, please read the article to learn about how to retain the previous version of your app

      yes, install 2022.  if that removes your 2023, install 2023 after the 2022 install

        Thanks, I'll give it a shot.  I've got ongoing projects now using both versions.  I couldn't afford to lose 2023 in order to have 2022 installed.
