 Is it possible to have more machines on 1 user to speed up my Stats? Or are you only able to add machines under new names? I´ve read a lot of topics but could find a question and answer related to this. Can you help/link me to the answer? Thanks in advance!!!  KingH (NL) |

You can have multiple machines using the same WCG username, but the machines will show up as separate devices.
When you install the agent on the second machine and it pops up the registration screen, check the box to indicate that you already have a login. You will still need to give the new machine a device name. Your stats will be the total of the results/points from all the machines that you used the same username on,. and they will also be detailed by individual machine You can use the same profile for all of your machines (devices) or you can assign individual profiles to each machine |

I've got two machines with the same username so two devices. Cool with that. My problem is that one of the two machines has two users. Can they both run the same work unit when they are on the machine? I tried installing the program for the 2nd user and it tried to delete the work unit for the first user. Ideas?
