OK to uninstall previous versions of Flare?
I am using Flare version 11.1.0. Is it okay for me to uninstall previous version of Flare? And may I also uninstall previous versions of other MadCap products - Analyzer, Capture, Contributor, Echo, Lingo, Mimic?

I'd say so, but you want to first unregister the older versions just in case you want to reinstall them later...ya never know.

It's actually deactivate...
If you go to the Help tab on the ribbon, the Deactivate button is in the Product group.
I'm not sure when the feature was added. Maybe Flare 9?

Help > Deactivate Product
I'm not sure how far back this is supported (about 3 or 4 versions from memory). For really old versions of Flare you have to contact MadCap to de-register Flare.
