I don't see info on this - The process of installing a full version of a program varies so much, I want to be sure I go ahead with my PD purchase in the best way.

Should I un-install the trial copy before running the PD9 exe file?

If you have another version installed, PD will uninstall it before continuing. However, most on here will suggest that you uninstall any previous version before running a new installer. This doesn't usually include installing patches, of course. Some also run CLCleaner. I'm not sure if the link is still in the stickies. __________________________________

Thanks, Jaime - After posting this question, I found a PD9 quick start guide which explained that the installer would begin with an un-install of the trial version. So, now I'm up and running.

Finally - I'm an official new PD9 user!
