Although using the same homedir should not hurt much, gnupg-2.1 will migrate your secret keys to a new format but leave the files in a way that gnupg-2.0 can still read them. But there will be problems with the gnupg-agent as gnupg needs the same version of the agent that the program belongs to. To avoid that you should specify --homedir c:\testhome or something on the commandline to 2.1 calls. Then it will use that as a different homedir. e.g.: gpg --homedir c:\testhome --expert --full-gen-key would generate you a key in c:\testhome Regards, Andre -- Andre Heinecke | ++49-541-335083-262 | http://www.intevation.de/ Intevation GmbH, Neuer Graben 17, 49074 Osnabrück | AG Osnabrück, HR B 18998 Geschäftsführer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner
