Things to know before you install UFT 11.5
- If you are upgrading from either QTP 9.5 and up or Service Test 10.00 and up, the install will automatically uninstall any older version of QTP of ST and replace with UFT. If you have older versions of either produce you must manually uninstall them before installing Unified Function Testing.
