PCB EDITOR 16.6 and 16.3 on the same computer?

 Hello,

        I just installed 16.6 on my computer under the assumption I could still launch 16.3.  16.6 is up and running as anticipated, however if I try to launch 16.3 I get the following error.

"The program can't start because cdn_xerces-c_2_7.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling to fix this problem."

 Did the install of 16.6 delete or move this .dll?  Should I reinstall 16.3?  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Clint

    You need to use the switch release feature to switch the licensing between 16.6 and 16.3.

     Thanks for the pointer Tom! The Switch Release Tool is working as intended.

    Thanks again,

    Clint
