Installing NoMachine Enterprise Client 4 and NX Client 3.5.0 on the same machine
In general, NoMachine Enteprise Client 4 and NX Client 3.5.0 can perfectly coexist on the same host machine.
Connection files (.nxs files) from client 4 and session files (.nxs files) from 3.5.0 are compatible and can be used indifferently by both clients.
By default client 4 saves its connection files (.nxs) into the user's Documents/NoMachine directory while client 3.5.0 saves its session files to the user's home/.nx/config directory.
If you would like to keep .nxs files from client 4 and client 3.5.0 into the same directory, you can change default settings for client 4: from the GUI, click on 'Change player settings' and go to the Player environment panel. You can specify path where to save connections file from the Connections field.
On Windows
NoMachine Enteprise Client 4 and NX Client 3.5.0 can perfectly coexist on a Windows host. The first installs in the NoMachine Enterprise Client directory and the second in the NX Client for Windows.
On Linux
By default both NoMachine Enterprise Client 4 and NX Client 3.5.0 install in the /usr/NX directory.
You can make them coexist by installing client 4 (which supports relocation) into a different directory and then install client 3.5.0.
Note that for installing client 3.5.0 from rpm or deb you have to specify option to ignore dependencies. Dependencies on nxclient are necessary for upgrading installion of version 3.5.0 to version 4.
RPM
Install client 4 to for example /opt:
# rpm -ivh nomachine-enterprise-client_<pkgVersion>_<arch>.rpm --prefix /opt
Install client 3.5.0:
# rpm -ivh nxclient-3.5.0-7.<arch>.rpm --nodeps
DEB
Install client 4 to for example /opt:
$ sudo NX_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt dpkg -i nomachine-enterprise-client_<pkgVersion>_<arch>.deb
Install client 3.5.0:
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-conflicts nxclient_3.5.0-7_<arch>.deb
TAR.GZ
Install client 4 to for example /opt:
$ sudo tar xvzf nomachine-enterprise-client_<pkgVersion>_<arch>.tar.gz
$ sudo NX_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt /usr/NX/nxclient --install
Install client 3.5.0:
$ cd /usr
$ sudo tar zxvf nxclient-3.5.0-7.<arch>.tar.gz
On Mac OS X
NoMachine Client 4 and NX Client 3.5.0 can coexist on a less recent Mac OS X up to version 10.6.
NX Client 3.5.0 ships PPC-based GUIs that require the Rosetta translator for working on an Intel-based Mac: http://www.nomachine.com/AR05I00593
Support for PowerPC applications is no longer available since Mac 10.7 Lion.
