Multiple Machines, One Passkey

Hi, I just got started today. I've got the client downloaded on my main gaming rig, my streaming PC and my ultrabook (which I work on all day). I've set myself up on each machine using the same passkey that is tied to my email address. My question is, are settings unique to each computer, or are they tied to the user/ passykey. I would like to let my gaming pc and streaming pc work at full capacity while not in use while I have my ultrabook only do work while idle. I'm not sure if I have everything setup properly or not for this, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Each individual installation has its own configuration.
Your username and passkey just determine where the credit goes.

Basically you can use your username and passkey on as many machines as you want and have proper access to.
Some have used different usernames for different machines so they can track their points production separately, but that is a personal choice.
As for setup, if you have any questions about specific details or how to make different settings for a particular machine, post here with details of what you are trying to do an the first couple hundred lines of the log so web can see the current setup.
Directions for finding and posting the log are here for Windows - viewtopic.php?p=261082&f=24#p261082

Thanks to you both. I set them all up under one username/ passcode and everything seems fine at the moment. Two of three have already started run jobs. Another quick question though, when I go to the Web Control module to get an update on one of them it just kind of flickers and looks like it's trying to auto-refresh but nothing happens. It just continues to flicker. I know its running a job because I can see progress in the Advanced Control menu, but the Web Control seems buggy. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the F@H Forum EnJeiBee,
If you're using Chrome or Chromium based internet browser, it is a bug and there's a workaround, see item 7 on this post -> viewtopic.php?f=61&t=32463
