You can have more than one engine on the box. However I don't know if these two are compatible as a multi-instance set-up, so you may have to run only one-at-a-time. I haven't tried a multi-instance of OWGS as I believe it's a one-instance-per-box product. But you can definitely run the regular ODS as a multi-instance engine. OWGS is a pooch on NT, but it could be my config... I suspect it's NT more than OWGS that causes it to run slow, so I may end up bulldozing the NT software and put a UNIX in it's place...
