    Yes.

    When installing, I specify an install folder awith the name of the SW
    version. i.e. C:\Program Files\SolidWorks 2007

    This way, each new version is installed in its own folder and the old
    version is left intact. I've had as many as five versions on one
    machine.

    Keep in mind that newer versions of SW will count each install on your
    system as a separate use of the license. I've run into this issue
    myself already.

    It shouldn't.. I have 2008 and 2009 on my work computer, and have the
    HUL in use at home, and I haven't run into any licensing problems..

    I'm running SW07 & SW08 on the same machine and planning to install
    SW09 soon and then I will have all 3 version on the same machine. The
    best way is to create separate folders for each version.

    Given that my mobo has 8 cores and XPx64 seems to assign each application to a
    different core, if I install SW2009 in a seperate folder, can I then let 2008
    spend hours on a motion study calculation and employ 2009 to work on a different
    model?
