How to use the unlimited version and the latest version together

I used the Windows version of CLIPSTUDIO a long time ago.
I think the version was around 1.8.
I felt like drawing again after a long time.
I didn't really understand the upgrades and monthly fees, so I decided to use the shareholder benefits.
However, when I try to install the software using the benefits, it is upgraded to the latest version.
If that happens, I feel like I will no longer be able to use the unlimited version that I am currently using.
I would like to keep the unlimited version as there is a possibility that the benefits will be changed to use on the iPad.
So, I have a question. Is there a way to use the unlimited version and the latest version together on the same PC?
I am using Windows 10.
I would like to avoid uninstalling as much as possible.
I'm sorry that I'm not very clear about the format and it's difficult to understand, but I would appreciate your advice.

You cannot use 1.x and 3.0 at the same time, but you can downgrade back to the unlimited version after the shareholder benefit ends. (The unlimited version and the shareholder benefit are separate licenses, so you can also downgrade back before the benefit ends.) You can also continue to use the shareholder benefit while still using 1.x. (Older versions may not be usable, so in that case please upgrade to the latest version of 1.x.)

I'm ashamed to say that I lost the serial number because it was an old item.
The email address was also a free address, so the service was terminated and I couldn't check it...
I don't know the password for my account from back then either
When I updated and stopped using the shareholder benefits, it was difficult to reinstall, so I ended up asking this question...
Thank you for your advice.

What is the intention?

Normal updates and upgrades are installed by overwriting, so it cannot be avoided.

(In the case of downgrading, the program cannot be reinstalled systematically unless it is uninstalled once.)

In the case of PC (Windows/MacOS), the program, settings, and license-related data are saved in a different location, so I don't think you need to worry about it.

Regarding the license, if you register an account with either a 30-digit serial number or a shareholder benefit activation code, it will automatically switch.

It is a system in which the same account manages multiple licenses, assuming that the account is the same.

> I don't really understand the format

so it is an impossible suggestion, but if you have studied the computer configuration as knowledge, it is possible to keep both Ver.1 and Ver.3 of the program in a different location (as copies).
(The copies will remain unaffected even if the original program is uninstalled)
CLIP STUDIO is designed not to be run simultaneously on the same PC, but if you intentionally select (the copies), you can run them alternately.

In any case, any irregular usage (of the copies) is at your own risk.
*1: Basically, the trial version/DEBUT version/PRO version/EX version/foreign language version programs are all the same, and startup is managed by the license and switched automatically.
*2: There are differences in the program content of Ver.1/Ver.2/Ver.3, but if you have the highest level license, all versions will start/apply.
*3: In your case, after the expiration of your shareholder benefit activation code, you will revert to only starting Ver.1 (from the intentional copy). (It's a different story if you have additional shareholder benefits.)
