What is the word on running both of these from the same machine?
There is no way around it (2 different customers with 2 different versions
on existing programs).
FWIW i already have the 2007 server version.

Hope my question is clear enough.

The word is that it works.
I'd recommend installing 2003 first then 2007 as 2007 has a provision for
installing and keeping the 2003 version.
I can't recall exactly, but I'm pretty sure the installation will ask you
what you want to when it encounters an already installed version of 2003.

Since you have 2007 already, I'd back up the global.mpt if you have made any
useful modifications (views, tables, custom fields etc.) and then uninstall
it. Then install 2003 and then 2007 again.

Thanks Jack.
You are talking about the Server versions and not project professional or
project standard correct?

Mike,

No, I was not talking about server. You posted in the project general and
not the project server newgroup so I mis-understood your question.

Personally I see nothing good coming out of hosting them on the same machine
and would avoid it. But that is a position based on mitigating risk rather
than upfront costs.

You might want to try posting in the project.server group for a more
authoritative answer.
