Side-by-Side Installation
ProStructures 2023 supports side-by-side installation of multiple versions of ProStructures on the same machine. You can run multiple versions of ProStructures CONNECT Edition & ProStructures 2023 at the same time. Installation of ProStructures 2023 will by default occur alongside any of the previous installations. Removing previous versions of ProStructures will require a manual uninstall. ProStructures 2023's installation directory and Configuration are in a different location than the previous version. In the default installation, you can work on two different configurations defined during ProStructures CONNECT Edition and ProStructures 2023 installation. The application version naming FAQ describing major and minor releases is located here. [Bentley Lifecycle Policy | Bentley Systems | Infrastructure Engineering Software Company]
