Upgrading IVF 9.1 to IVF 10.026

Hi folks:

I think I know the answer to this, but I want to be sure before I uninstall IVF 9.1 and possibly mess up my system in the process.

A few days before Intel announced IVF 10.0, I bought IVF 9.1 (my esp let me down, again). Since then I have received a couple of notices from Intel for upgrades to 9.1, namely for IVF 10.0.025 and 10.0.026. Now I know I have to uninstall 9.1 to put 10.0.026 on my system, but I want to make sure I am allowed the upgrade since technically I bought 9.1 before 10.0 was released. What I don't want to happen is to remove 9.1 and then find out 10.0 won't install (although I can just put 9.1 back on, I want to avoid the hassle).

I'm pretty sure from reading other posts here, it's not an issue and I am fine installing 10.0.026, I just want my hand held a little. :-)

For what it's worth, I already have VS 2005 on my system, and 9.1 is integrated into it properly.

You're fine and even saved some money. You get all new versions released within a year of your purchase. In fact, the Intel Registration Center won't show you updates you're not eligible to install.

You do not have to uninstall 9.1 - both versions can coexist and you can select which you want in VS2005. But if you think you won't be using 9.1, then go ahead and uninstall.
