Today I installed the update from Resolume Arena 2.11 to 2.2.
It seems to me, that I have now two versions on my computer.
Can I uninstall the older Version 2.11 or must it stay on the computer in case of the license?

The licenc is bundeld to your computer, but keep the code / bill as copy save somewere, you never know.
Also in case you installed some plugins / addons you need to transfer them manually.
The "old" version is also a backup for you if there are some bugs in the new version. I allways have 2 versions on my Laptop, just in case something happen to the new version i dont see comming.
If you are sure the new version run smooth and you dont need anything from the older version folder then you can deinstal it.

Thanks for answering. Of course I meant Version 4.2

.
It is a good idea, to test it out first and as soon as it works proper, I will uninstall the 4.11 Version.

While I do keep multiple versions installed, I'd like to request an option to uninstall older versions in the installer.

The best way to 'uninstall' older versions of Resolume is to only delete the Resolume 4.x.x application folder that you no longer need.
All other folders contain shared preferences, settings, compositions, registration files and other things you need to run the new version.
So just go to Applications / Program Files and delete the older Res folder there. Only when you want to completely remove Resolume altogether, should you use the uninstaller or something like Cleaner to remove all folders completely.
