Can FM Server 5.5 & 7 Co-exist on the same Server?

[rotoso]

Hi,

We are currently running a Win 2k Server with FM Server 5.5. Runs fine.

We now have the requirement to have FM Server 7 for a few FM7 databases - however we DO NOT want to convert the other existing DB's to 7.

Is it possible to run 5.5 and 7 on the same server

Thanks for your help.

my understanding is that you cannot do that as both use the same TCP/IP port for communication.

Thanks for the reply Keith !

It would be nice if FileMaker would put this in their documentation.

Rotoso,

It is somewhere in their setup documentation for fms7. I remember being very disappointed when I read it.
