This article or section is missing vital information. You can help the SL Wiki by editing it.

Information for Linux


Windows

  1. Make a new shortcut to the SL exe file.
  2. Then in that shortcut go to properties.
  3. Then in the properties find the Target box.
    • It will say something like "C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe"
  4. Just after the last " in that box put this in. -multiple
    • So it reads like this "C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" -multiple

That lets you open as many as your computer can handle.

(You can only have one login at a time to an account. So you'll need a second account for the second SL client you have open. Etc. Max is 5 per household.)

Mac OS X

  1. Find the client in Finder (usually "Second Life.app")
  2. Right-click and select "Show Package Contents"
  3. Open the Contents folder
  4. Open the Resources folder
  5. Open the "arguments.txt" file for editing
  6. Add "-multiple" to the "arguments.txt" file and Save
