What happens to my Fantasy Grounds (Classic) installation?
Your Fantasy Grounds (Classic) installation and campaigns will remain operational and unaffected by Fantasy Grounds Unity (FGU). The applications, their data folders, and the license keys are completely different. Any DLC or add-ons that you have purchased through Steam or through the Fantasy Grounds store, however, will also be installed for FGU.
