Running Server 5.5 and 8 on same box?

[Dataslinger]

Hi, we have an client running a FMP 6 solution off a FMS 5.5 server. Runs just fine. Windows 2003. It has low-moderate usage. Can we install and run FMS 8, to run two more low-moderate use databases, on the same server, at the same time? Seems to me it should work just fine, as long as server resources aren't taxed. Is anyone doing this successfully?

TIA

No you can not because they both use the same port.

So, if the ports are an issues, I assume then adding a different separate computer box, one still cannot run/host FM5.5 and FM8 servers on the same network? Is there any way to achieve this? So a critical FM 5.5/6 can be used until converted... and newer FM 8.x apps can be served? Thanks

They'll run fine on the same network, just use two separate host computers.
