Can different Versions of LV coexist on a PC

I have LV6.1
Can I install LV8.0 on the same PC but still support all my legacy work on 6.1?

No problem!. I have LabVIEW 5.1.1, 6.0.2, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1.1, and 8.0 on my computer. However if you ever have to reinstall it is important to maintain the order of installation starting from the lowest LabVIEW version and going up. Also with very old LabVIEW versions you can get into troubles with some Toolkits and drivers such as NI-DAQ. NI-DAQ for instance can't coexist in different versions and the newer versions necessary for LabVIEW 8.0 do not support every LabVIEW version back to 4.x and earlier. I think LabVIEW 6.1 should be just about fine or just not anymore so check that out but one of the next NI-DAQ releases is likely to drop that support if it is still present.
