Can I have both iMovie 11 and iMovie 6 on the same computer?

I like the ease and layout of the previous iMovie. In my mind, it's quicker and more precise. But, at the same time, there are some good features of iMovie 11 I also like. So, I was going to download iMovie 6.0.3 and just use both of them, but then I started worrying that if I installed it, it might mess up iMovie 11, or the installation simply might not work. The pop-up window told me it is supposed to automatically upgrade anyway. I want both of them on the same computer, is that possible? Is it okay to just download and install it?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

The famous 'free' 6.03 was NO fully functional version of iMovie!

It was just a special update for those, who didn't like then new iMovie08 - which wasn't more than just a demo, imho.With appearance of iM09, v6.03 was pulled by Apple…-

You need a 'real' installer disk with an old version of iLIfe to install iMHD6.

There's no legal way to download an obsolete version of iMovie.-

iMHD6 and actual iM11 can co-exist on the same Mac.

Afair, you need MacOS 10.6 to install it…

Search this board … there are many people still using iMovie-a.
