How many SQL instances can be installed in a server?
You can install as many as 50 SQL Server instances on a Windows Server; obviously, we do not recommend this. In a Windows failover cluster, the maximum number of SQL Server instances is reduced by half if you're using shared cluster drives. Only one of the SQL Server instances on a server can be the default instance.
How many SQL databases can you have on one server?
For SQL Server, the max number of databases you can have on a single SQL Server instance is 32,767.
Can I install 2 versions of SSMS?
Having multiple versions installed is not a problem, I currently have SSMS 2008, 2012, 2016, and 17 installed and all work fine. You might need older versions installed to have a complete collection of client tools.
