To all: Alright I read all your answers and I understand it. First I
never was going to run (2) XSI versions at the same time. Second why
do I get the error:
Error: there is no interactive licence to run XSI
And i'm not running 4.2 & 5.1 at the same time. I'm just loading up
5.1 with no 4.2 running. What am I doing wrong, when under new
licence for 5.1, version 4.2 loads up fine. When I try to run *just*
5.1 I get this error ?
