I purchased to clean install version of PDR 13 Ultimate Suite earlier this year, and have upgraded to PDR 14 Ultimate Suite a few days ago (A few extra features that I will be using i.e. motion tracking and action camera), otherwise I would have waited for the next one.

During the install I was not asked if I wanted to uninstall PDR13, and it just installed into it's own new directory. All plugins that I have added and downloads from DZ migrated OK and show up in PD14.

Is it wise to leave PDR 13 on my computer or unintall it. I am afraid that if I uninstall it may dlete some shared files etc, which could create a problem with the program execution.

Any thoughts ? Thank you

Hello Ragged Jock,

It is not necessary to uninstall your PDR 13 if you have enough space on your PC.
I have both PDR 13 and 14.

I do not know what you mean by shared files.
But if you have no problems using them with PDR14 at the moment I do not think it will be a problem if you remove PDR13.
I believe that everything that is user-created remain on the computer even if you remove PDR13.

But one of the wise guys can probably give you a better answer to this.
