Hello, 
 I have a microstation V8i SS3 installed on my computer and I want to install the latest Microstation CE, and I need both versions. If i install the CE, will the v8i version stay or it will be changed to CE? thanks.

 Your existing MicroStation V8 i is a 32-bit app. installed to folder C:\Program Files (x86)\... . 
 MicroStation CONNECT is a 64-bit app. that installs to folder C:\Program Files\... . 
 Application configuration details are added to the 32-bit or 64-bit Windows Registry . MicroStation configuration files are separated to different folder structures. Neither program knows about the other. 
 There is a MicroStation CONNECT utility that will help you convert your existing V8 configuration to a CONNECT configuration .

Hello Crisanto, As Jon Summers have mentioned, both versions can be installed on the same computer without effecting each other. As Jon stated correctly, MicroStation V8i (SS3) is a 32-bit application installed in a different location then MicroStation CONNECT Edition, which is a 64-bit application
