Yes, but you must install them to different directories (for instance, you might choose /opt/sunstudio9 and /opt/sunstudio11 as the base directories).
See the release notes for the differences.

cc version 5.6

Read the installation notes and, generally, just run the installer. You may need to install some patches and/or a more recent version of Java.

No paid licence required for Studio 11 (you have to agree to the licence agreement when installing). Studio 9 requires a licence at installation, but I don't think that there is a runtime licence.
Note that Studio 11 is no longer the current release version. Studio 12 was released a short while ago.

You can install as many different releases of Sun Studio as you want on the same system. The only requirement is that they be installed in different base directories.
The default base directory is /opt/SUNWspro. At most one release can be installed there. Give the installer some other location for additional (or all) versions of Sun Studio.
The simplest way to install is to use the interactive GUI installer. The Installation Guide that comes with Sun Studio provides more details. You can also find the Installation Guide for each release of Sun Studio at
