Issue

You want to know if you can install Autodesk Map™ 6 and Autodesk Map™ Series 5 on the same computer.

Solution

Autodesk Map Series 5 and Autodesk Map 6 are not compatible and cannot reside side-by-side on the same computer. If you have installed Autodesk Map 6 on a computer where Autodesk Map Series 5 resides, Autodesk Map 5 will automatically upgrad to Autodesk Map 6 and you will be unable to use the Autodesk® OnSite and Autodesk® Raster Design components of Autodesk Map Series 5.

  1. Uninstall Autodesk Map Series 5.
  2. Uninstall Autodesk Map 6.
  3. Reboot the computer.
  4. Reinstall Autodesk Map Series 5.

To run Autodesk Map 6:
