[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 454465, member: 9240"] I've got them both on my computer if only to save on having to reinstall an old version from disc and do all the incrementals since 5.0, but I don't really use it. I have opened the backed up catalogs after the CC install just to make sure you can do it and you can, but you can't really effectively maintain two sets of catalogs. To get back you'd just need to export the XMP files. Now, the one thing they said back in the 5.7 days is that if you ever dump the Creative Cloud you would lose all access to Photoshop, but you got to keep using Lightroom's Library and Print functions. This means that you really would never [I][B]have to[/B][/I] go back to version 5, you could just keep using LR CC (I guess it would effectively be LR 6) for the catalog functionality and call your editor from there. At least you'd lose none of the tagging and rating work done. Whether that's still the case now with LR CC I don't know, but would love to. [/QUOTE]
