Hidden elements 4 tools with PE6

[euclid47]

I have PE4 plus the hidden tools.
Question: If I buy PE6, do I have to uninstall PE4 and the hidden tools first?
Can the PE4 hidden tools be used with PE6?
Is there anything else I should be aware of?

1- no need to uninstall
2- Yes... if you know about installing actions in PSE6, which is described in different threads in this forum.

If disk space is not a problem, why not keep both PSE4 and PSE6 aside? They cannot be used at the same time, but when you become more proficient with PSE6, you can think about migrating your tools to PSE6?

Michael is mostly right...I am not sure the tools all work reliably, and that is because of changes Adobe made behind the scenes. So, while you can install the tools with some changes you need to be willing to make, there may be some functional differences that will cause some of them to fail.
