I have three PCs that I could add to this project. How do I set them up? Do I use the same user name and key on all three PCs? Will that allow them to all run at the same time? Or do I need a different user name or key to identify each machine as different so each will be contacted by the main server? What am I doing right or wrong?
Thanks
Bart

Yes. All the same settings is the expected way to do things.

You could use a different username if you wanted to track points from each computer separately but most people just use the same name, your choice.
Re: Running more than one machine
Even if you use the same user name (and passkey), FAH will track which device computed what:

An unconnected question, but the column "Got Bonus" = 1 in the user per cpu link above, means that I was getting the bonus points, is that correct? Thanks.
