I still have R11-Suite installed, besides R12. With the upcoming release of R13, I see no use in keeping R11 on my machine, but I'm afraid that uninstalling it will also remove the related 'suite' content (REs, sounds, etc.). That would mean I have to re-install all that. In that case, I might need to wait until R13 drops, as it has better support for managing that stuff in the R13 companion app.
Anyone have experience with this?
Is it safe to uninstall R11-Suite?

Yes, I have a suite license and only have 12 installed. The suite content is installed via companion and is tied to your account not the reason installer. At worst you would need to redownload the RE content via companion.

That's the issue I'm worried about, as suite came with some content that does not install via the current version of companion, mainly the soundiron sample-based instruments, Radical Piano, etc.
From the R13 blogpost:
Companion’s also been refreshed and looks better than ever. It also finally handles the Optional Content that was previously downloaded from within Reason, so now you’ll find Klang, Pangea, Humana, Radical Piano, Drum Supply, and Loop Supply in Companion along with your other downloadable content.

That content is part of the standard version of Reason, not suite exclusive and will still work with Reason 12 and 13 but I can’t answer how the installation process will work with 13. Is the concern with having to redownload it due to bandwidth or storage space?

None of that. It's just that I have a nice stable working installation that I can use to make music, while the rut of reinstalling stuff (that is currently installed and working) is seriously off-puttinghoneyBadger wrote: ↑10 May 2024Is the concern with having to redownload it due to bandwidth or storage space?
But anyway, thanks for your input

I uninstalled R11 when R12 came out and i didn't have any problems. I have/had Suite and none of my REs were affected (nor did they need to be reinstalled/downloaded). Disclaimer: Your results may vary.

Likewise, I upgraded from R11 Suite to R12 and lost none of my Suite REs. Didn't have to reinstall anything.

Nah, I don't keep software installed that I don't use anymore. I also had several other DAWs installed, but those are getting removed one by one as well. I only keep the previous major version of Reason installed to be able to compare issues in the latest major version with that previous version. That is the only reason I had R11 still installed.

If it all goes horribly wrong be sure to post the gory details so I can feel a little bit superior.crimsonwarlock wrote: ↑10 May 2024Nah, I don't keep software installed that I don't use anymore.
