In other words, will I be able to run both on my computer? Not necessarily at one time, but I don’t want to risk losing my Classic version. I will need access to the Classic version even if we don’t use the new version.

I answered your question already in the Adobe forums, but will repeat here:

Since the new version is still limited in its features (only responsive projects is only one of those limitations), Adobe decided to keep Captivate Classic supported along the new version (same license).

Personally this workflow worked fine for me for the installation of both versions:

  1.  Update your present version of CP2019 to the latest version which is 11.8.2; you’ll see that it is renamed to Captivate Classic and its icon changes.
  2. Now install the new version. It has the original Captivate icon and its native extension cpt (while Classic keeps cptx).
  3. The structure of the eLearning assets is more chaotic, but that is my opinion. It is different on Windows and Mac. I am a Win user, what do you use?
