That is interesting as I did not know that.
I have been running CO7 on my MBP running Yosemite since I upgraded to Yosemite a couple of months ago. I have not had any problems but, I guess, it is the luck of the draw, so to speak.
> Your CO7 key will become obsolete after the upgrade (it is a trade-in for the reduced price) but you can activate CO7 on your old machine with the CO8 key.
I did not know that either. I guess it pays to read the license.
I am currently running my (licensed) version of CO 7 on my MBP running Yosemite and I also have the trial for CO 8 loaded on the system. They do not play well together as I cannot run both at the same time (I know I don't have any need to run them both at the same time but it did come up when testing CO8).
So, based on what you say, the two copies you are allowed to run can either be two copies of the latest version or one copy of the latest and one copy of a previous version, all using the same SN. I guess that means that upgrading invalidates the previous SN. Again, interesting to know. Thanks for making that clear as I did not know. Upgrade policies seem to change from company to company.
> Not an ideal situation as CO8 settings are not backwards compatible to CO7, so you run into problems when exchanging images.
But, I assume, they are forwardly compatible to CO8?
