Only if you have a second user ID.

Otherwise, you have to leave one team to join another.

Yep. You would have to set up another account using a different email address. You could then use the second account to join another team.

The program will run. It wouldn't run both at the same time, however, so you would have to switch it back and forth to gain credits on both accounts.

No problem. Happy to help.

A way to do this with Windows is;

  • Install BOINC and set it running with projects for account 1.

  • Close the BOINC Manager program.

  • Back up the C:\\Program files\\BOINC folder, eg, to C:\\temp\\BOINC1

  • Unintall BOINC. (Delete the C:\\Program files\\BOINC folder afterwards)

  • Reinstall BOINC and set it running with projects for account 2.

  • Close the BOINC Manager program.

  • Back up the C:\\Program files\\BOINC folder, eg, to C:\\temp\\BOINC2

  • Uninstall BOINC. (Delete the C:\\Program files\\BOINC folder afterwards)

  • Copy the BOINC1 and BOINC2 folders to C:\\Program files\\

  • Rename C:\\Program files\\BOINC1 to C:\\Program files\\BOINC

  • In C:\\Program files\\BOINC double click "boincmgr.exe"

  • You are now running the BOINC Manager for account 1 with the projects you selected for account 1.

  • TO SWITCH ACCOUNTS:-

  • Close the BOINC Manager program.

  • Rename C:\\Program files\\BOINC to C:\\Program files\\BOINC1

  • Rename C:\\Program files\\BOINC2 to C:\\Program files\\BOINC

  • In C:\\Program files\\BOINC double click "boincmgr.exe"

  • You are now running BOINC for account 1 with the projects you selected for account 2.

  • Close BOINC Manager and rename to rerun as needed for account 1 or 2.


Note. You are running BOINC without BOINC installed into Windows. Seems to work for me.

You can as far as I know be in different teams for different projects (for example, us with Seti, another team for Einstein) without any problem.

Yes you can. But if you are attached to SETI with account 1, and try to attach to SETI again (for account 2) the BOINC manager won't let you. (You will get the message "You are already attached to this project"). Hence my idea of having more than one folder of BOINC Manager that you could run on a PC (separately).

[edit] Yes, you can be in whatever team you like on each project - your choice can be different for each project so that you could be in many teams (but only in one team per project).
