1. AX 2012 client folder is by default located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Client
Now we have to create a new folder with a different name (e.g. Client_R3)
2.Install AX 2012 R3 client to a computer that does not have previous versions of AX 2012 client installed. (e.g. the R3 AOS server)
3.Create a configuration file (.axc) for your AX 2012 R3 environment with Microsoft Dynamics AX Configuration Utility
4.Copy the content of your R3 Client folder to your computer to Client_R3 folder that you just created.
5.Copy the configuration file for the R3 environment to your computer
6.Create a shortcut for your R3 Client and add the path to your configuration file after the target application path (e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Client_R3\Bin\Ax32.exe" "C:\AX client configurations\AX2012R3.axc")
Rename the shortcut to correspond the environment it is connecting to.
7.Repeat to get a client for each service version that you need to get connected to.
