Sorry, not a lot of experience so probably silly question, but I am getting things sent in illustrator 2020 that I am having trouble with. I have creative cloud subscription, wouldn't 2020 be an update that I would get? I now am opening 2019 and 2020 and not sure why. Thanks.

Updates don't  install auomatically. You have to start them in the Creative Cloud app.

You can keep the old versions or delete them. I wouldn't recommend deleting them immediately when installing the latest version. Also you might need older versions for plugins or for coolaboration.

I have 8 versions of Illustrator installed and that doesn't cause issues.

Hi Dave,

 

As mentioned above, you can keep two versions on your machine.  If you want, you can remove the older versions. To do that simply click three dots next to 2019 version and click uninstall.
