multiple 3shape installations on the same PC?

[Joe]

Does anyone know if it's possible to install a different version of 3shape as a stand alone on the same PC as your regular 3shape network/client set up? I'm looking to install 2019 to test but when I run the installer it wants to "update" my dongle. That sounds like it will screw up my 2018 system.

I know that 3shape will sometimes change the way the database work between versions which is why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I was running 2014 and 2017 at the same time for a while without issue. I just don't feel like taking the whole system down.

Yes, you must a VM software. This will create a pc within in a pc, but requires a high end cpu gpu and a ton of ram!

Otherwise no since 3shape doesn't have the option to alter install location like most other software.

No you can have a local install then have multiple client install on one pc. I have a local server then have two client installs on my pc so i can log into the main server and the other side server if needed.

How do you keep track of which case is on which instal?

How do you keep track of which case is on which instal?

Production is 100% of all cases, (client on my pc)
Local in stall is for Beta testing for 3shape, i pull cases off the main server or scan in cases as needed strictly for testing purposes.
Side server is a back-up. Very easy to track. (second client on my pc)
Plus I have all the icons on the desktop names properly so i know which one i am launching.

thanks for the replies. I went head with a stand alone install and everything went fine. I've got 2019 standalone and 2018 client running on the PC now.

You can make a clone of your System.
Than you activat the bootmanager.
Of you start your computer you can select the clone of your System.
Of you have instal MS- Office or other Software, you don‘t need a new activation of the Software.
You don’t net spezial software.
All tools to make a colne are from Microsoft.
