Hi to all, I am considering switching from ACS6 to CC. 
Can use my ACS6 standard with CC cloud licence together? Any experiences?
I am interested especially in inDesign CS6 a new inDesign 2023. My job is making books and I already have a huge number of them, and because of reprints I would need to have both systems on one computer.

Thanks for your help!

Martin

Yes, you can have both installed together - but I'm pretty sure you'll have to pay attention when installing / upgrading CC not to remove previous versions.

Hi Rob, thanks!!! Some local seller told me, that when I start CC, I lost my old licence for ACS6, the both system cannot go together in one computer. But it sounds very strange to me (ACS3 and ACS6 worked together without any problems).
I need to be sure it will work at least a few years before I convert all the important old books to CC.
Is this your personal experience?

At some point - before I've switched to CC - I have had everything from ID2.0 to CS6 together 😉 for scripting purposes 😉 

 

Now, I have only CS6 and CC - but on Windows, last installed / updated version takes priority as a default application - you can of course change that.
