Hi Tanya,

You can install different BC services side-by-side on the same server. However, you need to configure each BC instance so that it is using unique/distinct port numbers if the different BC instances are going to be running at the same time, e.g:

ClientServicesPort
SOAPServicesPort
ODataServicesPort
ManagementServicesPort
DeveloperServicesPort

Please note that BC13 is no longer supported by Microsoft. We recommend installing BC 14.x or later versions which are all fully supported.

Hope that helps.
