    Is there anything I have to do when I want to run 4.6.x and 5.x on the same machine other than installing them in different folders? (Both free, not pro)

    I have purchased a lot of stuff in the AssetStore and I'm concerned if everything will run with 5.x, so my plan is to have a working 4.6 and can test all the stuff in 5.x without (possibly) breaking any project.

    Thanks in advance for any information.

    On past versions you could install to different directories and keep multiple versions. Give that a try.

    Edit: but be sure to backup your project before opening with 5x!

    Yeah, I am running both at the moment without problems. But once you open your game in 5.0 it will do a long conversion ( took me about 20 minutes) and then afterwards you can no longer open it in 4.6.

    Edit->Preferences
    Check "Always Show Project Wizard"

    This will make Unity ask you what project to open instead of just automatically opening the last one.

    I'm running into a problem where Unity4's UI fonts are all magenta. I have Unity 5 installed and I'm running the free version of Unity4
