One more question for clarification:
I use the same ID for two folding teams, but I'll need a passkey for the SMP client bonuses.
Can I just use the passkey on the SMP systems, or do I have to apply it to all folding cores (CPU, SMP, GPU)??

You can use the passkey on as many or as few clients as you want. Every client that's set to contribute under your username will give that username points, but the WUs uploaded with a passkey will be recorded as such in case anything ever happens in the future. It doesn't come up on the normal stats pages, but you can do a donor search with a passkey and see how many points have been contributed with that name/passkey combo.

Zagen30: Thanks. That makes passkey issue very clear for me.
I was just hoping that I didn't have to re-config every FAH client that I have with the passkey as soon as I get one.
I figure I'll migrate slowly all my systems to the passkey, but it won't block anything already running from contributing.
