noob silly question. is it ok to run 2 different versions...

...of ableton on one pc? any issues with shared folders etc? licence issues? any clashes?

i'm currently using 5 which i find very very stable. i've recently become interested in live 8 but as 8 is still relatively new i'd prefer to keep 5 for live usage.

seriously, i've been using pcs for 15 years and i have no idea about these things. i've always upgraded any software, clean installs.

i always keep multiple versions on my computer just in case the latest version is unstable, i can use the previous.. but there have been numerous changes since version 5.. currently, some people still have a few bugs w/ 8.04 but you can give it a try.. but be aware that if you do try 8 and like the many improvements since 5 and start working on it, you won't be able to open them in version 5 should you find it too buggy..

thank you kind sir.

Tis cool to do this but make sure you use separate libraries (back up just in case)

do you have an install folder location option for this? or will it just overwrite?
