Thanks for the replies Robert and Sherry. That’s pretty much what I suspected since they both default to installing the same directory. I was just hoping that I was mistaken :-/

I'll say this: You probably "can", as in installing them the installations will allow you to do so; if you pick different installation folders. But here's some experience on why you likely don't ever want to do that. On 1 system, which was used exclusively to host the console for a select group of people, when we upgraded from CM07 to CM12, the 07 and 12 consoles were installed in different locations, and the 07 console retired/uninstalled a few months later. It "worked". Remember this is before powershell cmdlets. However... it "working" also meant that remnants of the 07 installation were forever after mixed into elements of the cm12 console. Every once in a while, launching the console it would try to connect to the (now defunct/doesn't exist) old cm07 server. and every once in a while things just wouldn't be right. We tried combing through regkeys, wmi, and settings files. Never did quite find where the remnants were sticking around. We'd think we'd find it--clean it or put in the new server name, and a few days/weeks later some other admin would get a confusing launch again. Caveat: sure, maybe things have changed... but I would be paranoid. Now that you have powershell cmdlets--do you want even the faintest chance that "oh, I meant to target the current branch environment... but the cmdlet hit the cm12r2 environment, oops, sorry about that". So even though it might "work"; you might find days/weeks later that there's something goofy. I wouldn't do it.
