Greetings all

Was wondering if anyone has installed a standalone P6 V8 onto a laptop with V7 on it (including 12-14 DB). I need to be on V8 for some clients but still have open contracts on a dozen projects where I would like to stay in V7. Oracle says they understand it can be done but frown on support for it from a business standpoint. Seems like an odd viewpoint.

    hi Steve I assume that you

    hi Steve 

    I assume that you now have V7 and also want V8  I am not sur eof your reasons but be that as it may you have two options.

    I assume V7 is installed on your current operating system 

    Option #1

    install a Windows virtual XP on your system and install version 8 there

    here is the link to installing virtual XP

    Option #2

    Thanks ZFYI i have a dozen

    Thanks Z

    FYI i have a dozen databases with multiple saved schedules in each that I would prefer to not convert to 8.2..rather wind them down and then move into 8.2. 

    Also, ever since I saw the first of the sesame street icon characters I have been loathe to switch to 8.2.
