I just updated to the current version of illustrator. I am realizing some things are not working as they were in 30.2.1 until i get it figured out i wanted to install 30.2.1 alongside the newest version.

 

When trying to reinstall 30.2.1 creative cloud only gives me the option to remove the current version and then go back to 30.2.1 which I ended up doing. how can i install two versions on the same computer at once?

    You can’t install two versions of the same major release--e.g., any 30.xx versions. You can only install two major releases--e.g., 30.xx and 29.xx.

    @Matt_Bro You can have multiple versions installed, like 2025 and 2026, but not multiple versions of 2026 (or 2025).
