Yes, you can run several systems to collect points for yourself. When you install it on your sister's system, just check "Already a Member" and supply your member information.

Don't forget to remind her to make her device name different to yours, because all device names must be unique!
----------------------------------------Also, once she has added hers, you will be able to tweak her agent from your 'devices' page. Be aware though that since you will be giving her your password, she will be able to do the same to yours. From a safety point of view, it might be wise to change your password after she has added her machine(s). If she wants to be able to check the progress of your joint machines, she can still check as a guest. The easiest way would be to go to member comparison and just add yor ID. This will produce a URL which you can pass on to her which would be a permanent link to your score without being able to change anything.   Crunching in memory of my Mum PEGGY, cousin ROPPA and Aunt AUDREY. |

Of course she could always sign up her own account, and y'all could crunch as a team.
----------------------------------------Just create a team, and have her join it when she signs up. Could have the potental of getting more people to sign up for the team adding to your points that way. Coolstream, I don't think a family member having my WCG account info would pose a problem.  |
