-However, we have retained the possibility to install both CityTraffic 1.xx and CityTraffic 2 on the same version of 3ds Max. This will allow you to continue working on the files created in older versions and to switch to the new version step by step, whenever possible and necessary. The CityTraffic 1.xx license cannot be used for CityTraffic 2, so you will need to request an additional license for CityTraffic 2. All CityTraffic 1.xx users will get the CityTraffic 2 licenses free of charge.+However, we have retained the possibility to install both CityTraffic 1.xx and CityTraffic 2 on the same version of 3ds Max.
