That's how I've done it for years for 4+ copies of 4D (4DDev, 4DQA, 4DUAT, 4DTraining, 4DProduction etc). I've never had Windows complain about it. You can take it a step further and create .4DLink files to automate the connection too. Drop those in your Start Menu or Task Bar for single click access.
