Yes it is possible.

Go to the "My Grid" -> "Device Manager" -> "Device profile". Select one profile that you are not using. For the sake of this explanation I will take as an example "work". Select it then go to "Custom Profile" and there select only the CEP2 project and then "Save" your profile.
After you have done that go back to "Device Manager" and you will see the list of all your machines (devices) with their respective profile. Select the device that you want to run CEP2 then assign the profile you have just defined (in this example "work").
That's all.

after changing the custom profile did you save it (located on the bottom of the profile page)
mine have always worked properly. sorry your having problems.

Hi,

You can make any of the the 3 [user creatable] profiles the default [home, school, work], but if you've in Device Manager selected one of the profiles to be associated with a device and saved, that has to stick. If it does not, there's a bug, but then we need to know the exact steps you take for us to reproduce the issue, before we can see how these custom profiles ''are worthless" to you.

Whilst, when you make changes in the detail custom section, the radio button will actually drop back to show any of the 4 presets if a certain sub-set are changed and not the operation changing options [the setting changes are though really saved]. See this FAQ http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=17033 for which these are [top boxed section]

Of course, for web profile settings to take effect, you'd have to Clear the locally entered onesin BOINC [first screenshot in FAQ].

At any rate, let us know the steps you take to assign a profile to a device, and surely we'll be able clarify the darker than mud stuff to get one single device to do CEP2.

edit: P.S. It *should* work without loosing progress, but that only works as long as the device is not power cycled. Hibernate and Sleep mode preserves the state to the last second and resumes where it left off. Else, the task will resume from last checkpoint which can be hours apart, usually job 3 and one nearer the completion of the 16 step task.

Well, to put it this way, I've got a client that is known to run at WCG on home and at some other projects as default. Those projects don't even know I'm running at WCG with the 3 additional profiles [they dont show there in the account detail]. Generally a client adopts the associated profile of the project where you made last change to it. In case of detaching [say from WCG as a whole], me thinketh, that as long as no change is made at any other project, the other projects will have no inclination to transmit an update to the respective client, so in my case, if detaching from WCG, the client would continue to run with the WCG set preferences. [Will stand to be corrected on that, but it requires convincing support]

Not sure if I answered the question with that [the business getting even more convoluted if your clients are also attached to e.g. BAM, to which WCG as yet does not listen for the most part.

P.S. For clarity, I prefer talking about sciences or research when speaking of the sub-projects at WCG as a project to BOINC is what one association encompasses.

You can indeed only detach [deselect] from a science at the Device Manager or in My Projects of the website. Removing WCG from the client removes all that WCG has in sciences to compute.
