Hey all.
So I have an Ultimate License, by daughter will be running a Demo one.
When we run the game I will be running it from my laptop and she will be playing on the PC. That being said I would like to build on the PC when she's not around because it's screen is much larger and it's a PITA to be swapping monitor cables around.
My plan was to keep the campaign data on a thumbdrive and synch between the 2 systems and that thumbdrive and that seems to work fine. The issue is that she needs to run off a different license when we are going to play the game. She has a separate account on the computer but installing it under her account and under mine didn't actually provide two instances. Right now I see her install folders and license under my windows account. If I change these then she sees MY account info when she's logged in. I should mention I am running windows 10 Pro.
So my question is
Is it possible to have 2 separate instances? and if so how?
If it's not possible, is it possible to run the program off a USB key and what is involved with that. I am thinking it might just need to have a reg key that I load for them and then for me depending on what license I want it to use but I am not sure that is correct.
I have tried searching here and I am not finding much that helps me with this specific problem.
Thanks
