Installing DP 10 demo on machine with DP 9.52

Post by tunefool »

I would like to install DP 10 as a demo first before actually upgrading from 9.52. So I just want to make sure I take the right steps to keep DP 9 while installing DP 10. Am I correct in thinking I should:

- rename DP 9 in the Applications folder from "Digital Performer" to something like "DP 9.52"
- then download and install DP 10?

I know this has been mentioned in some threads, but I'm feeling very cautious about this and want to make sure I don't screw things up in DP 9 in case DP 10 doesn't work well. Exact steps I should take in this process would be helpful to know.

Thanks for any info.

My system: MacBook Pro with 10.13.6, 16 GB ram, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7

Thank you. I had scoured the forum, but somehow missed this post. :)
