I use 4.16 on primary machine. I have a secondary machine (Laptop) that I have 4.21 installed to do those little things. There is no GPU installed. I don't render on it. I just use it to do those little things like add Volumetric fog in a scene. Or the Dev tools.
@necro Ok, so seems 4.21 may be the prerequisite for G9 Dev Tools or its respective scripts to function properly - or at all. I've considered installing most recent and updated on a separate older machine for similar purposes, as well as the thought of running parallel on primary machine with separate, renamed folder technique outlined here at Zone. Latter has worked well for running a slightly more recent DS ver for the same things you use it for (volumetrics and other tools), (though apparently it's still not recent enough for G9 Dev Tools/scripts to work); but always leery about installing and running another version in parallel and screwing things up with runtime references or other.
Going to have to backup and get brave eventually I suppose.Well I have run the main public version & a recent Beta off the same remote Library installation for years.
Never had an issue with doing that.

@eelgoo Same here. Different version pointing to my library. Everything still works either version. The only issue I had was with two installs on the same machine. I found dForce hair would randomly use a different version Ie If you run dForce on something in 4.21 it will not come out the same as you did in 4.16. And having both versions on the same machine seemed to lead to random.
So if you rendered the scene. Then cleared and reloaded the same scene. The dForce would be different. Too me every to figure out it was the two versions. So beware that.DD
