Only 1 instance of FC6 at a time ? - Resolved

Post by acestu »

Hi guys,

I am not sure if this is supposed to be, maybe because FC6 is a Beta, but you can't open 2 instances of FC6 ie 2 different charts, also when you double click on a FC6 file the program opens then closes straight away..

Thanks

Hi Stu,

Are you running the latest patchset 2? If not then please can you update and check to see if the problem still exists.

I run multiple instances on my dev machine so I can copy code from one program to another, wonder if it could be a license issue? If you click the shortcut from the start menu does this allow you to open more then one instance?

Hi
Just tried multiple instances on both my systems, works fine. (Both running latest patch) I didnt try it with earlier versions so dont know if there was a problem

Also FYI I can only run FC on one (networked) system at a time so that part of the licence is working ok.
1 in 10 people understand binary, the other one doesn't !

Hi Guys,

Sorry I didn't see patch set 2 there, as it is quite new, anyway I have installed and I can now open multiple charts, however with nothing open if I double click on a FC6 chart icon the program tries to open but closes straight away...

Thanks
