Hi Everyone,
Do you know if it's possible to have both the Italian version and English version of Finale loaded on one computer at the same time?
Thanks,
Nick

I'll share an experiment I made a few years ago (2011 ?). Next to my main Finale 2011 in English, I installed the French demo (I needed it to make tutorials related to the French version).
As both are separate programs, it worked. I think I was able to open both at the same time, if I remember correctly.
But there were a few downsides : I remember a.o. that the plug-ins menu had a mix of 2 languages. Quite confusing, so I decided to remove both versions completely and did a clean install of just 1 version, the English one. It cleaned the problems.
A safer way would be to create a partition on the computer, with completely separated versions of Finale. But then you probably won't be able to haven both versions open at the same time.
