Can i have unity4 and unity5 installed at the same time?
Hi everyone, I have a pro license of Unity4x with two ongoing projects I want to finish before moving completely to Unity5. At the same time I wish I could mess around with it while maintaining the 4x version installed. Is it possible?
Thanks!

Yes. Just install it to a different directory.
You can have an arbitrary amount of Unity versions installed. Just be aware that if you open the 4X project in 5, it'll do a bunch of automatic updates of the project files, and you can't open it in 4 anymore. So do backups before you upgrade the project.

You sure can. I regularly run a couple of version of unity for various projects.
If you are on Windows you can just choose to install to a different (non-default) directory when installing Unity 5.
On OSX however you can't select where the install happens so you should move/rename the existing unity install folder before starting the new install. Then they will live happily on the same machine.
