Hello everyone,
I currently have WCG running on one computer. I also have a laptop in my wireless network that I would like to use on my same account. In the future, I might be able to add a third. I see that some people do have more than one computer running that posts points to just one account. How do I prepare the WCG download on the laptop to add those points to my one account? Thanks!

Actually it is easy. You just download the agent on your additional machine as you did with the first one. The only thing that you need to do differently is when it goes to register, be sure to click the box that says that you are already a member. Then choose a different name for the machine than your first machine. Like "My Laptop" or just anything as long as it is different than your original machine. (you are actually naming the "agent" on your machine. Let us know if you have another question. Hope this helps.
---------------------------------------- And Thanks for helping with the WCG. |

In order to insure that you use the same account on your 2nd, 3rd and subsequent devices, you will need to download the software as you did on the first system. During the registration process, be sure to check the "Click here if you are an existing member" and enter the same member name that you are already using (ie lubeitwell). This is illustrated as seen below:  |
