## I run two instances of E:D simultaneously, but I can't run two instances of EDMC
**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.**
This application supports this scenario if you run the second instance of ED
in a *different* user account - e.g. using `runas` on Windows. Run the second
instance of this application in the same user account as the second
instance of ED:
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.
`runas /user:<USER> "\"c:\Program Files (x86)\EDMarketConnector\EDMarketConnector.exe\" --force-localserver-for-auth"`
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.
(Obviously adjust the path if you have the application installed elsewhere.)
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.
The `--force-localserver-for-auth` flag is necessary to ensure the callback
from Frontier Authentication reaches the correct instance of this application.
This application doesn't support running two instances of ED in the *same*
user account. The application will only respond to the instance of ED that
you ran last, because its Journal file will then be the most recent.
