For 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.)

On Mac OS X:

  1. you can specify command line options by selecting the "newview" executable, opening the "get info" dialog, and add them to the "Arguments to be passed on launch" on the "Arguments" tab.
