That capability allows multiple services on the same server, each on its own version of .NET. It also lowers risks and saves money in application upgrades and IT operations.
 
-  Side-by-side installation isn't possible with .NET Framework. It's a Windows component, and only one version can exist on a machine at a time: each version of .NET Framework replaces the previous version.
