Running Multiple Viewers

See also Client_parameters

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.)

Linux

Same as Windows.

Mac OS X

1. Find the client in Finder (usually "Second Life.app")

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
