upgrading to LDT2005

[Maverick91]

Howdy y'all,

I've finally gotten the coveted box with the upgrade to LDT2005. I'm on r2004 now. Are there any serious issues with the upgrade? Can the two packages live on the same hard drive, at least for a little while? Is there a thread on this already?

Hi Doug,

There is already a thread on the upgrade questions, http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=11436 but to answer the coexistence question, YES
You will need to find the LDT.BAT file under the appropriate version and run it BEFORE you start that version up so all the registry keys will be copacetic. But there are few differences between the two.
