Articulate Studio versions 09 & 13
Mar 12, 2014
Hi all,
We have been using Articulate Studio Professional 09 for a couple of years and have purchased some new licences which are Articulate Studio Professional 13.
Before we can use them they need to be tested. An an individual already has the 09' version can they have the 13' version on their desktop as well.
We have heard that the two versions are not compatible and that any training material we have that was developed in v 09, once accessed into Articulate v13 means that it cannot be assessed again in v09.
Therefore my two questions are:
1) Can you have both v09 and v13 on one destop or would we need to remove v09 first?
2) If someone has v13 is it correct that they can't access v09 material after they have got v13?
Thank you in anticipation
Graham

Hi Graham
I don't believe it's possible to run both 09 and 13 on the same machine.
I upgraded to 13 a while ago and have opened 09 files easily and as expected. It prompts me to make a backup when importing Engage/QM interactions etc, but it does the actual backing up itself.
Hi Graham!
Looks like Simon has taken care of you here.
To confirm, we do not support '09 and '13 on the same machine.
Hi Simon & Leslie,
Thank you for your help on this. Because we have different people within the organisation on v09 & v13 and that we won't be able to upgrade v09 to v13 until all our staff have received PPT 2010 later in the year..
Therefore from Simon's reply it seems ok for a v13 to look at v09 files, but if a v13 amends it would this mean that the staff with v09 wouldn't be able to see or use it?
Thanks again,
Graham
Hi Graham!
That is correct, any content created with '13 is not backwards compatible to '09.
The material that is created in '09 can be updated to '13 for the most part, but you should check out this article for things that will change.
