Run Workstation Pro 16 in trial next to Workstation Pro 15

JoVa — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 15:26:43 GMT

Hello,
I have a licensed v15 license and want to test Pro 16 before I buy it.

Can I install this just next to each other?

The reason to test is to verify new Open GL features. I have an application Vectorworks which crashes when I enable 3D Accelaration.
This application requires this.
So if anybody has experience with this or a link to another thread is welcome

No, you cannot have two versions installed at the same time.

Keep your v15 installer, install v16 and test our your VMs. If you upgrade the virtual hardware in the VMs, and you want to revert to v15, make sure you downgrade the virtual hardware in the VMs before uninstalling v16 and reinstalling v15.
