Hello,
I would like to keep TBC v5.90.1 on my PC and still install TBC v2023.10. Previously, I only had to rename the folder c:\Program Files\Trimble\Trimble Business Center\ and then install the new version.
I can't rename the folder now, even though I try the Admin!
Uninstalling TBC v5.90 and reinstalling it in the folder c:\Program Files\Trimble\Trimble Business Center v5.90\ works. But TBC v2023.10 then installs itself in the same folder, even though I have selected a different folder.
I have not tried the Cleanup tool because I fear for my other Trimble programmes (Siteworks emulator, TEW emulator, ...).

Does anyone here have any tips for me?

best regards

Frank Pötschke

Previous guidance on who to have multiple installations was to move the entire installed folder to a different location, which I have done before. Of course you need to not have TBC open while trying to move the folder.

Thank you Robert, just rename the installation folder doesn´t work this time, but move into another folder made this job

The standard TBC install folder is "C:\Program Files\Trimble\Trimble Business Center"

As soon as I've finished the installation of a new version I make a full copy of the folder and give it a distinctive name.

On the desktop I create a shortcut to the "TrimbleBusinessCenter.exe" in that folder, and only use those. I never use the TBC out of the standard folder.
