Can i run construct 2 and 3 side by side?

So i have actual ongoing work with construct 2 and to be honest i am not that impressed with the change in the license for construct 3... it goes from a purchased item to a yearly subscription.

Add to that the "build service" that seems to be mentioned whenever you say construct 3 export, and i just see "cloud" everywhere which = fees for everything.

So, while i am still to be convinced that there is any practical difference in Construct 3, i do have real world IT reason not to upgrade...deadlines and clients.

Which begs the question, can i run construct 3 side by side with 2 so that i can ensure no downtime on migration?

Off course you can

Try the free version of C3 and test for yourself.

Are you asking if you can have the same project open (and edited) in both C2 and C3 at the same time while you develop?

no no

Thanks for your replies.

I just mean having them both on my system side by side. I don't intend to interchange projects between them, just keep my my construct 2 projects as that and create new projects in construct 3.

My question is based on the license. i think i get a year on C3 based on when i got C2 license. I am worried about ongoing support of construct 2 apps i have developed if i move to C3.
