Hi, Patricia,

In those cases, no. You didn't clarify this at all earlier. Many would think it is more hassle to remember which version of a program to run when accessing particular data and would find it much easier to just convert it all to the most recent version as it is accessed.

The reason the install maintained Ledger 8.1A is so a site could edit their older data (probably to ensure year-end adjusting entries were entered) without inadvertently converting the data to Ledger 9.0x. The purpose of this would be so the site could then use the Import Retrieve Prior Year Data on the older data. As you know, the data must be pre-9.0x data to use the function. Thereafter, the data would have been converted to the newer version and accessed within the newer module. At this point, the older version could be uninstalled as it is no longer necessary at all.
