Can I delete PSE 7 from my PC after updating to PSE 15?

Well, almost everything is said. I bought PSE 15 as an update version and have successfully installed it. Can I now delete the old PSE 7 or will this cause a licensing issue because PSE 15 is an update version "only"? Thanks for your answers and have a nice day!

    Each version of the program is independent and you can retain both on the same machine.

    Unless you are pressed for disk space, I suggest that you hold on to PSEv.7 for a while, at least until you are sure that everything is working to your satisfaction, esp. the organizer.

    When you do decide to uninstall PSEv.7, deactivate it via the help menu.

    Just to be clear: Uninstall, not delete.

    @ Peru Bob: Thanks, yes I meant to "uninstall" when I said "delete". Sorry for not being precise.
