Installing multiple Algor versions on the same system

Hello,

 

We are currently using Autodesk Algor Simulation MES 2011 on our computers, but since we also have become authorized re-sellers of Algor in the Nordic countries, we have acquired Autodesk Algor Simulation Professional 2011. This is to be used for demonstration and marketing purposes.

 

However, when trying to install Algor Simulation Professional 2011, it simply says that “A newer version is already installed”. How do I install multiple versions of Algor on the same computer?

 

(Sorry for both sending this to support and posting a topic about it, but it's quite urgent)

Bjorn,

 

The message would be more accurate if it said "A newer version or the same version is already installed". Algor Simulation MES 2011 and Algor Simulation Professional 2011 are different "flavors" of the same version, and the same version cannot be installed multiple times on a computer.

 

Naturally, the Professional package includes the MES, so you could use that installation.

 

In the future, there will be "dynamic licensing" which will permit multiple licenses on the computer, and will switch to the higher license when required by the user.
