RH6 and RH7 separate installations?

If I install the Trial V7, will this damage my V6 installation?

How does "massive" grab you. More to the point, the methods of working are different. You can have many topics open, drag content up the page and over the tab of another topic, that will then display and you can drop the content where you want it. That's just one simple thing.

I suggest you take a look at the RH7 pages on my site and also follow the link to John Daigle'e reviewers guide.

Thanks Guys,

I only have RH version 6. (I upgraded from X5 many months ago). Pity about the licences; it means that I cannot train both v6 and v7. Are the visible differences that great, Peter?

Hi Ben

My point was that the upgrade price from 5 to 7 is significantly higher than the upgrade from 6 to 7.

Peter, my previous comment referred to your saying that you can't keep RH6 if you use that license to upgrade. I'm not sure what the price of upgrading 5 to 6 has to do with my comment, especially since I'm sure you can't upgrade to 6 anymore now that 7 is out. (Unless you meant 5 to 7, in which case I can see there is a big difference.) But it's a moot point if Adobe wouldn't let you have a full license of 6 on the same machine as 7 that was upgraded from X5.

But one possibility for Philip is to upgrade 6 to 7 and keep X5 if that's similar enough to 6 for his instruction--if that's allowed. Otherwise, the only option for using a single machine is to buy a full license of 7, which is even more expensive.

Or maybe I'm out on a limb, but at least the view is rosy...

Have you looked at the price of the 5 to 6 upgrade and the price of the 6 to 7 upgrade? Big difference.

If you're going from RHX5 and RH6 to RH6 and RH7, couldn't you upgrade the X5 to 7 and keep the 6 unchanged? (Doesn't Adobe let you upgrade from the previous 2 versions of a product?) Just a thought.

Outputs to Word have still worked OK.

If you use your RH6 licence to upgrade, you can no longer use RH6, on any PC.

I never use RH for Word, although I do build outputs to Word; would that still work?

Pity about the licences; that's an expensive solution. Can't I install RH6 a second time to a different folder, and then upgrade it?

If you want RoboHelp for Word to work properly, No. Otherwise it seems to work OK. Note though that it is possible you may be the first to encounter a wrinkle!

Also you need full licences for both versions, not upgrades.
