[GIS] use multiple version of ArcGIS desktop on same computer with one EDN license

arcgis-desktoparcgis-license-manageredn

If I have an EDN license, then can I use multiple versions of ArcMap on the same computer?
For example, I want to install ArcMap 10.0 and 10.4 with my EDN license. Now is it possible to install these two versions on the same computer? If not, then can I install 10.0 on computer_1 and 10.4 on computer_2 (another computer).
I have read from here : [http://www.esri.com/legal/pdfs/mla_e204_e300/english#AGOL_Data][1]

and

but they are not clear to me.

With an EDN license you can indeed receive different versions of ArcGIS, for test and development purposes.

Technical aspects: No, you can't install them on the same machine. You would need to use a virtual machine to use different versions on the same computer.

See this Esri article for reference: FAQ: Can I install different versions of different ArcGIS products on the same machine?

Note that you can install ArcGIS Pro on the same computer as Desktop, they are different softwares.

Legal aspects: an EDN license is assigned to one developer, so I suppose as long as you're the only one using the licenses, it should be OK to install them on different machines. It would anyway be weird to provide several versions otherwise.
