Can ABR10AW be used concurrently with Echo Workstation on the same PC?

Thread needs solution

I think the title explains it all. I need to do some testing on this new product and wondering if I can use both on the same PC or if I would encounter any problems by uninstalling effecting the other installation. These would both be full installations. I haven't come across any post or documentation that fully explains this.

I don't think having both the versions on the same machine would be a wise idea. And infact you wouldn't be able to use both on the same machine. Say, you install Echo first, when you install ABR it will ask if you would like to upgrade or remove the previous version.

Hello all,

Thank you very much for your posts.

JBswift,

I am very sorry for the delay, but I will definitely assist you. I am afraid the two full installations will not work with each other. The only components that can, are the different version's management consoles. If you start installing Acronis Backup and Recovery 10 over your existing Acronis True Image Echo installation, you will be prompted to uninstall the previous version or to cancel the installation.

Mark Sway,

Thank you for your feedback. You are right, although the option to upgrade no longer exists when you try to install build 11345.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
