Hi tommartini604
You do not need to leave AT4 installed to have access to gear in AT5, with 2 caveats:
1) If you have old projects in a DAW that you still need to open/access, if you uninstall AT4 the projects will not be able to open the plugin. AT5 does not automatically replace AT4.
2) There are a couple of the cabs (rotary I think) available in AT4 that are no longer available in AT5 as they were damaged in a flood and so their IR could not be recaptured and included.
Hope that helps.
