Installing Real PDF software

Do I need to uninstall a previous version of Real PDF before I install a newer version?
No. There is no need to uninstall the previous version before installing a newer version of the program.

Do I need to uninstall the trial version of Real PDF software before I install the full version?
No. The full version of Real PDF software can be installed “over” the trial version. This means that the trial version’s files will be replaced by the full version’s files.

Can I use Real PDF software on both my desktop and portable computer?
If you purchased a single-user license for the full version of Real PDF software, you can use the software on one or more computers you own, provided the program is only used on one computer at a time. If more than one person will be using Real PDF software on different computers at the same time, you must purchase a multiple-user license.
