Two computers, same user

Question

I am the administrator of our translation projects. I have two computers. Can I run Paratext on both with the same Registration name and work on the same projects, or do I need to create for myself a new user for the other computer. The two computers would not be run at the same time.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use the same registration on both computers, but that makes it even more important that you do a S/R before and after switching computers. If you don’t do a S/R on both computers when switching, you can create merge conflicts with yourself, which Paratext doesn’t always handle well.

Thank you!
My data lives in “My Paratext 8 Projects” folder in my main computer. Installation process on the secondary computer wants to create “My Paratext 9 Projects” folder. Is this OK?
