In normal English, when not using a number, sure! But in software, with numbers versions it almost universally means chronological releases of something.

There are many different versions of Windows, like Home or Enterprise. You can get hardcover or paperback versions of many books.

Great examples! Those are both called "editions", not versions. Thanks for proving my point ๐Ÿ˜„
