Re: Multiple versions of JAWS installed concurrently?

We have done this and it works ok. I do not recommend it for testing purposes because there are some shared components and it is possible that an older version of JAWS will get to use a newer version of them than it would normally do, which could render the results invalid. However, that is not a concern for someone who just wants to use JAWS.

Subject: [WebAIM] Multiple versions of JAWS installed concurrently?

Someone on our campus wants to know whether it's possible to have JAWS 13 and 14 installed on the same machine simultaneously. Apparently one of their products has a feature that requires 14, so they want to install that for a period, and then uninstall it afterward.

Assuming that all licensing issues are addressed, is there a technical issue here?
