Given that there is always something a bit different in the new versions in terms of statistical outcomes, I would like to test out 6.5 before converting all my leagues from 6.12. Ideally, it would be great to be able to still run the 6.12 version when I wanted to, or at least until the each season ends before converting. But, I don't want to wait to install 6.5, because I would like to run it with new leagues to test it out.

This is not the same as backward league file compatibility. The league files are not normally the issue, it is the engine behind the scenes that can make significant differences in game results. Especially with the AI changes, I expect we will all see some obvious differences in outcomes (albeit for the better).

Does anyone know if we can have both versions at the same time? Maybe copying our 6.12 directory in another location to preserve the ability to run it.
