Is un-installing old versions required

[default75yh4frk7fyx]

Just purchased creative cloud. I already have Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements as well as an older version of Acrobat DC.

Should these all be uninstalled before installing the Creative Suite?

Serial number programs are completely separate... if your subscription includes Acrobat you should DE-activate and uninstall your serial number version of Acrobat

If you are not going to use the elements programs, also DE-activate and uninstall

You can uninstall it but it isn't necessary.

I recommend that you leave the installations untouched until you're sure the Creative Cloud apps running ok and all it works as you like. After this you can uninstall the Elements versions
