Can I install 3ds max 2021 with the 2025 indie license?
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.

3ds Max (2023-2025), V-Ray 6.2, Ryzen 9 3950-X Processor, DDR 4 128MB, Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master motherboard, Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0 M.2 drives, NVidia RTX 4090, Space Pilot Pro, Windows 11 Pro x64, Tri-Monitor, Cintiq 13HD, Windows 11 x64

Accepted solution
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.
