I might be wrong, so if others can chime in and give you a more definitive answer. As far as the XS key goes...it should automatically authorize itself upon install if your computer is hooked to the net. Peace, Steve

(Also works with 6 still installed) Without 6 installed it won't be able to import your key commands, so I suggest you export these somewhere handy before uninstalling 6 if you are going to uninstall it. > > As far as the XS key goes...it should automatically authorize itself > upon install if your computer is hooked to the net. It used to be that there was a warning to remove the XS key before installing, that warning is no longer there but I removed the key anyway and did not need to do any updating. Some people have reported 7 messing with 6 prefs, but I didn't notice any problems, but if you want to run 6 and 7 it might be safest to create two boot partitions and have 6 on one, 7 on the other.

(Also works with 6 still installed) On a related note, after my L7 install it seems the help files were not installed. On my L7 help menu, all I have are links to the last minute .pdf files... Has this happened to anyone else? Do the help files have to be installed manually? Just curious.
