I'm using e-prime 2.0 Standard software to encrypt dogs. Can I use the encrypted dog I currently use if I want to install e-prime 2.0 Professional software?What if I want to open e-prime 2.0 Professional software with e-prime 2.0 Standard software?
Thankfully, E-Prime 3 does away with the distinction between "Standard" and "Professional" and comes in only one "flavor" for all, equivalent to "Professional".
