Running more than one machine

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.

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.
