The rules are that one user/machine combination only takes one token, no
matter how many instances of xsi you use. However, it does seem that the
rule doesn't cross version boundaries and running 5.1 alongside 4.2 won't
work if you have a single token. With that caveat, old versions of xsi will
run from newer tokens, so 4.2 will run from a 5.1 token provided 5.1 isn't
running. Which is annoying.
Except on linux where a second xsi will crash the prior version. That's a
bug, though.
