Hi Folks,
I've had a search and can't find quite this question addressed. My apologies if I've missed it. I'm currently running 11 and 2008 on the same machine. 11 SP4 Client Upgrade for ADMS 2008 is installed and the Content Center has been migrated and functions on 2008. Can I safely uninstall 11 without scrambling 2008?

I have never had Inventor 11 and 2008 on the same machine but I can see nothing wrong with removing 11, what makes you ask this question?

The reason I ask is that I have no effective working knowledge of what's happening behind that plastic cover over the hard drive or processor, being a computer Luddite. Autodesk have gone to some lengths to write a deal of info about side-by-side use, so my computer cynicism/paranoia makes me wonder if there is some risk of interfering with the running of 2008 after pulling 11. You'll have to excuse my lack of faith in computers!!
