Different VS licensing versions side by side

Hello,

From the docs I see that is possible to have two minor versions side by side on the same machine.

Is it possible to have for example VS Community and a VS version with subscription side by side, both latest stable versions, on same Windows installation? Eventually on different drive partitions. Is it as simple as downloading installer and run it or there's a need for --installPath command parameter?

Thank you

Thank you, but my question is not related to licensing but having two versions of VS installed side by side, for instance Visual Studio Community Edition (community license) and Visual Studio Professional (subscription). If it is possible to run them side by side, having one on C:\Program Files and the other on D: drive for example.

Yes, I suppose you can run the multiple version of Visual Studio side-by-side on your computer.
