Can you have 2 copies of the TOS software on the same computer?

Can you have 2 separate copies of the TOS software on the same computer? Or will downloading a second copy overwrite the first? I would like the second copy to play around with different chart styles and settings without having any affect on the chart styles and settings in the first copy. Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can absolutely run two instances of TOS on the same computer. As a matter of fact, you may experience an increase in performance when you balance the workload between the two instances of TOS due to TOS being able to utilized the extra processing powers of your multi-core computer since each instance of TOS can only utilize a single-core. However, if you want to retain different chart settings then you need to have the second copy of TOS installed in a different directory.

just install TOS in a separate directory/folder on your computer and you can have as many installs as you want. You just need to make sure you know what short cut controls which install. Each installation is stand alone. Your settings and charts/indicators are saved separately on the server profile at TD
