    is anybody familiar with this program? I need to use two languages by it will not let me install two versions at the same time. I also need to run the English and Italian version at the same time switch between the two.
    How can I do this? Is a virtual machine with another installation of the only solution? I only have 2 GB of RAM so I'm not sure that I can't run to Windows at the same time.

    Does anybody have an idea on how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Not familiar with that program, but Sandboxie might be an alternative. I haven't used it for that purpose(I have used it for security/privacy reasons), but isolating the new/old install with sandboxie might allow the other to go through.

    I have tried what you suggested but it doesn't work. does anybody have any other idea? Perhaps modifying the registers?

    we have a multi user licence at work and it costs thousands per year and as far as i know you can only load one on a machine. you will need a license for each one so if you can get the virtual machine to work you might need to buy another license. :(
