I belive if you have installed according to the "OFA" standards for directory layout, etc. that you are SUPPOSED to be able to install new version in parallel.

I installed my Unix based 7.3.4 per OFA but I haven't yet tested installing a 8.x version next to it.

I to would be interested in confirmation that this did or did not work (or was or was not a good idea).
