Switch between academic and professional licenses of P3dv5

Post by rylabics »

Hi

I would like to install F-18 superbug but I should have an academic license and not a professional license of p3dv5 as I have. Case I would buy an academic license is it possible to switch between them or install two versions of p3dv5?

Thanks!

Academic vs professional is a license matter.
There is no, zero, nul difference between academic and prof version. Everything that works for prof also works for academic and vice versa.

I think that may be slightly incorrect. Doesn't DCS look at the license and fail if it is a professional version?

You could install both versions in different directories. For example, I have two copies of the academic version since some addons only work in earlier versions.
