I have two computers that I could add: can I add them both to the same account?
I cannot log into World grid from the 2nd computer using the 1st computer's username/password, so I suspect not... |

Yes you can put any number of computers onto the same account. You should be able to log into World Community Grid from any computer, whether or not you have an account for that computer. What message are you getting when you try to log into WCg from the second computer ? Cheers

It just kept rejecting my username or password, so my conclusion was that I could not share two computers on one account.
So, I made a Team, created a separate account for the 2nd computer, then joined the Team. How should I have added the 2nd computer to my original account? |

The computer accounts are tied to your login and password. As far as I can remember, once you download the application, it will step you through the process in a similar fashion as when you set up your first account.You add a new project and select World Community Grid from the selections offered. I don't remember the exact process, because it has been a while since I added a machine, but you should be able to just follow the prompts. If you are still having trouble, let us know and I will find more detailed instructions.

If I remember correctly, it adds the device automatically (using your user ID). Just sign in using your existing User ID/password and install (no need to create a team). If your having issues with signing in, it must be something with the second computer (what that could be, with the supplied information, I have no idea
