Hi ,
You can keep both the versions (5.9.2 & 6.1 )on your machine if you have the valid license.

Note:
The VE is backward compatible only (you can’t open a new model in an older version).
There is no need to uninstall the older version while upgrading.
Thanks & Regards ,

Hi,

As Vajindar said you can have version 5.9.2 and version 6.1 installed side by side. If you have upgraded your keys to version 6 then you will need to run a tool to allow you to run version 5..9 using the v 6 keys.

Download it from here http://www.iesve.com/content/mediaAsset ... Update.exe

Run the tool and direct it to your installation of <VE> 5.9 then click Go and a dialog will be displayed confirming it was updated. Thta's all you have to do next time you run v5.9 it will work with the v6 keys.
