    Hello mdsr,
    are you using the RTC? If so, you can just copy the RoleTailored Client folder, so you can run two different Versions on one computer.

    Example:
    Default Installation -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\90\RolteTailored Client
    9.00.51175 -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\90\RolteTailored Client_90051175

    Then you can create a config for the 9.00.51175 version. So you can define the correct server name and Instance.

    You can then create a shortcut, and modify the target - Example:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\90\RoleTailored Client_90051175\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe" -settings:"%appdata%\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\90\ClientUserSettings_90051175.config"

    The first part:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\90\RoleTailored Client_90051175\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe"
    To the exe file, of your second NAV version.

    The second part:
    -settings:"%appdata%\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\90\ClientUserSettings_90051175.config"
    The config for the second NAV version.

    For azure, check this:

    This can be done with Docker containers, you could gave a container for every build number in the registry all at the same time
