Cannot install 2nd newer version of simply on same system

I have a need for two versions of simpy installed on my PC.

I am running Sage Simply Accounting version 2013 with payrole . I also wish to install Sage Simply Accounting version 2014 without payrole.

The new version detects the old and will not install unless I remove it, I do not want to do that. In the past I have been able to install my old versions and newer versions.

How can I install both versions and only run one version at a time.

Any help is much appreciated..

    Check the version numbers carefully from Help | About.  

    The 2014 version was just called "Sage Accounting" without a year.  Not sure whose idea that was, but it was a fairly stupid one.

    I've never had a problem installing multiple years' software, but it's never been possible to install multiple versions of one year.
