1. Does the Chinese Reader 6 replace v5.5?
After installing CR v6, your existing copy of CR v5.5 will remain. You should use only one at a time; please don't try to run both CR 6 and CR 5 at the same time!

2. Why should I install CR v6?
If you've already upgraded your browser to Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 13 or Chrome 19, CR 6 is the first Chinese tool to support LiveScan in all of these new environments.
