As long as you do not clone the machines, you can use the same username, passkey, and team on all your machines. Each separate install, gives the computer its own unique number and that is enough to keep the WU's independent.

Welcome to the F@H Forum Troyjan20072001,

Regarding the kind of WUs (Work Units) being assigned to your other system, it depends on the hardware of those systems and how F@H is configured. Thus, you can get WUs from the same Project that system A is working on or you will get a WU from a completely different Project. Do note that under normal situations, WUs are not duplicated so all work done by your systems will be unique.

Moreover, if you are using V7, you can configure the Advanced Control (AKA FAHControl) to monitor your other systems too (https://fah.stanford.edu/projects/FAHCl ... oteClients).
