## I run two instances of E:D simultaneously, but I can't run two instances of EDMC
EDMC supports this scenario if you run the second instance of E:D in a *different* user account - e.g. using `runas` on Windows. Run the second instance of EDMC in the same user account as the second instance of E:D.
**NB: This documentation appears to be in error. The second instance
via `runas` will detect the already running EDMarketConnector.exe in the
'default' user (that you're logged in as) and thus not run. We'll
investigate changing the check to take different users into account.**
EDMC doesn't support running two instances of E:D in the *same* user account. EDMC will only respond to the instance of E:D that you ran last.
In the meantime you could investigate [Running from Source](https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/wiki/Running-from-source)
for additional copies, as that will not perform the EDMarketConnector.exe
process check.
