    2 games up at a time with 2 ultimate licences?

    Hi there! I have 5 groups a week currently, soon to be 7, and I was wondering if there was a way to have 2 servers up at once, maybe if I had 2 ultimate licences and 2 separate installs of Unity, but shared the campaign data folders. Would that work for allowing me to run a game in one and have another up for people to work on their characters? or would it still not work because it uses the same connection? Could I simply use different ports between the 2 sessions to keep them separate?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    I believe that licenses are not tied to your account so it is possible to have more than one license. Whether you can run both from the same location I don't know for sure.
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    Only one license per machine is supported at this time; as it ties into the machine registry. Also, the Cloud network facilitation service will only work with one hosted session per machine.

    You would need multiple machines. And as Moon says, using the Cloud game lobby you would need seperate GM user accounts (which would mean more than one license).
    I don't know if it would be within the license agreement to run the same license on multiple machines at the same time under the same account (i.e. using LAN connections).

    So, i could theoretically do it, if i had a second computer, a second account, and a second ultimate licence? then just use like a networked location to have the files shared?

    Yes. That ought to work.
    You might be able to load an instance of FGU on your computer using Cloud and then load a second instance using LAN and setup Port Forwarding to the other?
    Moon Wizard can you still specify a port on the application command line?

    You do it in the Load Campaign window - 1802 is populated as default.

    Oh, but there is a gotcha... content is connected to the username. So two accounts would not only mean two licenses, but two sets of content

    Yes you are right.

    I would set one campaign up on port 1802 and another on 1803 and load them as LAN games and setup port forwarding.

    Or... I would not really bother. The amount of time that players actually spend managing characters between games is minimal in my experience.

    With 5 groups I have the server up almost 24/7. Once I have 7, I will likely NEED 2 up at a time...
