I currently have SFP 3.1 (never upgraded to 4, because I had dial-up internet at the time and download kept stuffing up, so I thought, stuff it, 3.1 works fine)

But now I have upgraded to 4.5 (& want to start playing with some of my new synths)
To install 4.5, do I install over 3.1 or seperately eg can I have C:SFP(3.1) & also say C:ProgramfilesSFP(4.5) ?

Is it possible just to install my new plug -ins in 3.1 & what are the benefits to 4.5 over 3.1 ?(3.1 works well for me, there are one or two minor bugs, but these are not particularly annoying)

When people mention backing up, is this just projects, presets & 3rd party stuff?

Finally I also bought A100 reverb just before getting scope 4.5, I started intstalling in 3.1(& got as far as sending transfering string to SonicTimeworks & now I have my key, but haven't entered it yet), but then I thought oops if I install this in 3.1 will I need a new key for it to work in 4.5? (could I use they key I have, if I install 4.5, because I haven't entered it in 3.1 yet?)

any answers appreciated, thanks

functionally 4.5 is pretty much 3x. i'd just install over the top of your 3.1 install. that should leave devices, projects and presets intact.

yes, backing up is just presets, projects and extra devices. i'd just copy the presets, projects and device folders(and your xtcproject.pro if you've changed it)to the desktop, just for safety's sake. then install 4.5 to your sfp or scope directry.

the stw key won't change for 4.5.

thanks, that was quick, & that's pretty much sorted it for me
