And yet, it seems like there could be problems if I have two re-write programs running at the same time, however brief.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm currently on ZenCart vs 1.5.5e - having upgraded several times since I started with 1.3.6 in 2006

Thanks a million in advance.
To maintain the links that you have currently, you will want to gather the existing links as provided by Magic SEO before final transition to using Ceon URI Mapping. The software is written generally to support being installed (but inactive) along another URI mapper, but only one should be active at any one time. Should be possible to remove/disable the other and enable Ceon URI Mapping and continue moving forward without issue, though suggested to test (practice) that on a development location.

One way to get most if not all of the URIs is to use Easy Populate V4 to export and to include the URIs in the export (admin setting). As the export file is created the store side URI will be generated/collected as would be displayed on the store front and that information can then be used to populate the Ceon URI Mapping database table. Then if you wish to change the URIs away from the old style, the old URIs will remain reachable with the new URI taking its place.

Another tip, if you plan on building your database outside of the live store, then it is suggested that your temporary/development store be reached by using a sub-domain with the store setup in the same directory (or lack of) as intended for your live store. (ie. domain/store === subdomain/store) That way the database table can be transferred/used without edit.
