Yes, that should be fine. I have an Indie license and always have at least 3 versions of Max installed all the time for backwards compatability and for testing things as I answer questions here in the forum. I've never had any issue with multiple versions installed on the same machine.

IIRC a 3ds Max license is good for the previous three versions. So a 2025 license would cover all versions down to 2022 - but not 2021...

I might be wrong though, never tried the Indie version.
