I am not sure what you mean by "root A" and "root B" on the same server. You can install one or more DataStage instances on any given machine (with 'machine' defined as an instance of an Operating System).
The software will allow you to do this using the same license keys. Your contract with IBM does not allow you to do this unless you've explicitly put that in (and paid for it).

I'm guessing that the two 'roots' refer to installing the software to two different folders off of root. And while you can do this, why in the world would you want to go to the trouble? :?

There is a pdf document in your Docs directory that explains how to install more than one version at the same time on a server, I assume you could leverage that information for this.
