Need to uninstall EA5 before installing EA6?

[tanja]

On the registered user page, there are 2 'use cases':
- if you use evaluation version
- if you have an installed registered version and want to patch it

However, it is not stated whether I must uninstall an old release version (e.g., EA5) and reboot in order to correctly install the new release version (e.g., EA6).

Many applications do not require this and thus say nothing about uninstalling. But, from some search on this forum, I see that some people uninstall EA5, reboot, then install EA6.

If the sequence 'uninstall old->reboot->install new' is the requirement, could somebody please provide an explicit statement on that in the installation guide section of download site (and to this post :-).

Thanx!

I never uninstalled EA before installing the new version. This is done by the installation process.
