When I installed Circuit Design Suite 14.1 I lost the previous version that I had installed (14.0)
How do I get it back?

Solution

It's important to clarify that there are different versions and different editions of Circuit Design Suite that includes Multisim and Ultiboard.

When referring to the version it means, for example, 14.1 or 13.0.

When referring to the edition it means, for example, Educational or Power Pro. With this being said:
  • You can have 2 versions of Circuit Design as long as they are not the same base (14.x).
    • i.e. You can have Circuit Design Suite 14.1 and 13.0. While you cannot have 14.0 and 14.1 in the same computer.
  • You can have 2 editions and they will not interfere to each other.
    • i.e. You can have Circuit Design Suite Power Pro 14.1 and Circuit Design Suite Educational 14.1. Although they are the same version they are different editions.
