SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008 on the same server

[pzn3xq]

Hi We are planning on installing SQL Server 2008 on the same server that already has SQL Server 2005. The server is Server 2008. Any problems with loading both db's on the same server? We will use a completely different instance name for SQL Server 2008 than SQL Server 2005. Anyone encounter any problems with this? Thanks

I'm running both without any problems. Just make sure to use different ports and remember that only one can be default instance.
