Pro Tools first and 11

Can Pro Tools first be installed on the same computer with other versions of PT such as Version 11?

Both of the installers for Pro Tools 10 and other version will be in your Avid account. when you complete that activation/upgrade process:

I understand that, but my question was if Pro Tools first can be installed on the same computer that has other versions of Pro Tools already installed.

Just curious as to why folks are getting PT First, when they have the full version.
Is it to do some editing/recording without needing ilok?

Yes. Too bad it crashes on launch.

I have PT11, and a friend wanted me to collaborate with him. He has the latest subscription PT. Since PT11 doesn't do the collaboration thing, I installed PT First on the same PC as PT11. When you start First, a message comes up saying it will modify the workspace file making it incompatible with previous version of PT. I backed up the file before continuing with First. First came up, and I could select the project, but it would not download any tracks. It said download failed due to timeout. But I did get both versions working on the same PC. I restored the workspace file before starting PT11 again.
