The V7 and V8 clients install into different paths, and there are no
active processes for the client, so you should be able to do this. Just
need to point your apps at the preferred client profile. I had them
co-installed on Solaris for a while, although that scenario didn't last
long and we may not have actually used 'two at once'.

Subject: Version 7 and 8 Client on Unix


Does anyone know if I can install both the version 7 and version 8 DB2
client on a Unix box? I need to access a version 7 instance from a box
that
only has version 8 on it now. Can I install the version 7 client
without
breaking the version 8 instance?

Thanks,
Blair
