FP 2002 install with FP 2000 already installed

[Guest]

Can I install FP 2002 without uninstalling FP 2000? If I do, and decide to
keep using FP 2002, can I uninstall FP 2000 later? Will anything from FP
2002 get deleted?

If FP2002 is an Upgrade; you cannot use the previous version that you
upgraded from (that's in the EULA....), but if it is the full version, then
yes I don't see why you can't use both.

Whatever you create in FP2002 will be fine; any feature from FP2002 that you
use that is not in FP2000 will of course not work and in that respect, you
might have problems.

You can continue to use the prior version on the same machine, you just can't go and give it to
someone else.

The second part is the critical question... If I like FP2002, and decide to
uninstall FP2000, will any FP2002 files get inadvertently deleted? Or would
it be better to just go ahead and uninstall FP2000 first to avoid any
problems later?

In either case, un-install the one you decide not use and then repair/re-install the one you are
keeping.
