I'm using my home computer to do work for my employer, using DevForce 3.4.0.3, but I'm also starting up a side project which will use DevForce Lite 3.5.4.1, which I've just downloaded.  Is it safe to install DevForce Lite 3.5.4.1 on a machine that already has DevForce 3.4.0.3 installed?

Of course, you'll have to uninstall DevForce 3.4.0.3 before you can install DevForce 3.5.4.1.
 
To answer your question, I would say that there is at least 99% chance that you will be able to run your 3.4.0.3 applications on DevForce 3.5.4.1.  I do caution you that you may have to make a few changes to your solutions.  In particular, make sure that all of your IdeaBlade references have a "Specific Version" property of False.
 
I say a 99%, not 100%, chance of success, because it is possible that there could be a breaking change between one version of DevForce and another.  For DevForce 3.5.4.1, there are no breaking changes.

Sorry, I thought you guys might be hip to side-by-side execution.  ;)

Do you have any advice for developers that need to use the Enterprise license for one project and the Express for another?

Since DevForce Express is a free download, you won't be breaking any licensing agreements by installing it on as many systems as you like.  However, if you had a single Enterprise license, you could only install for a single user.
