If you upgrade a machine from a previous version of Windows to Windows
Vista/Windows 7 and that machine has Version 10.x or 11.x of Dragon
installed, that version of Dragon will not work after upgrading to Windows
Vista. All your user profiles from these previous versions remain intact and can
be upgraded when you install Dragon Version 12 or higher.
Coexistence with other Dragon products
Coexistence with previous versions of Dragon
You can have only one version of Dragon installed on your system.
Note:
Running Version 10.x, 11.0, or 11.5 concurrently with Version 12 is not
supported.
Coexistence with the Dragon SDK Client Edition
You can install Dragon SDK Client Edition 12 on the same machine where
Dragon 12 is installed. In addition, Dragon 12 and Dragon SDK Client Edition 12
can share users and vocabularies.
You can only run one product at a time. For example, if you are running
Dragon, you cannot run any of the SDK Client tools or samples.
Note:
Coexistence of Version 12 with Dragon SDK Client Edition Version 10.x, or 11.x
is not supported.
Installation Prerequisites
Before installing the software
1. Close all open applications.
2. Turn off or disable antivirus software; the installation process can some-
times trigger a false virus report.
Note: You must have Administrator rights to install or uninstall Dragon on
Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7. Administrator rights are not
required to create a user profile or use the software after installation.
On Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 systems, if as an
administrator you want to create a Dragon user profile for a Windows limited
user (user with restricted privileges), you must log on using that Windows
limited user account before creating the Dragon user profile.
If you create a Dragon user profile for a limited user while logged in as a
Windows administrator, the limited user will not be able to access that user
profile. These restrictions also apply to an upgrade installation.
3. Choose the type of installation to carry out.
