Hi,

i have bought pro version of akeeba.

I have already installed Akeeba free version on my joomla site.

Is it ok to install pro-version OVER existing free version or is it better to clean free version and then install pro version.

What do you recommend?

Thx, Gerold

The recommended method is to install the Pro version over the Core version, see the video tutorial Upgrade from Core to Professional. Please do that twice in a row as there are some cases where Joomla "forgets" to copy all the necessary files when upgrading an extension.
