Multiple version installs on same PC

SUGGESTED

I am sure it has been asked myriad times before, but is it possible to install two versions of Sage 50 on the same PC? For example, I have a client with Sage 50 2014, that wants to install their copy of Sage 50 2020. If I install v.2020, will that upgrade v.2014, or will they run side-by-side? Thanks

    Yes it is possible.  They run side-by-side.  I currently have 11 versions on my current computer and while I don't have 2014 installed, I believe I had no problems when I did on my last computer.

    For those reading this, there is an issue with versions from 2010-2012 when 2019 or later is installed.  The older versions no longer function on the same computer so you may not want to install any version more current than 2019 if you rely on 2010, 2011 or 2012 versions of Simply Accounting.  However, I do currently run 2008 and 2022 on the same computer without problem, so it is not all old versions that are affected.
