Login on two computers at a time

I was wondering if you can login in more than one computer at a time? I generally preach from a surface pro and was wondering if I can run proclaim off one computer and have the surface pro have the same thing on it. I have tried and it will not let me in on the surface pro, acts like it is the wrong password or something.

    Hi Bruce - and welcome to the forums

    If for your own personal use, Logos software can be installed and operational on multiple computers at the same time.

    For Proclaim, multiple people in the same presentation group can be logged in at the same time.

    I’m not quite sure what you are describing - do you actually want to have Proclaim running on two computers at the same time during a service?

    Please provide a few more details

    Graham

    I guess in a way , I don't have an extra monitor so I was going to run the notes enhanced version on my surface pro at the pulpit with my regular computer running the program.

    Some questions:

    1. Are you trying to have them both “on air” at the same time?
    2. Can you log in to the surface pro when the other computer is not running proclaim?
    3. where do you prepare your sermon? If in Logos, you could run that on your surface pro and access notes from there?

    I'm sure that I'm not explaining this well, real new at this, second week and last week did not happen as planned. I'm looking to have a way to see what the person running the computer and sound so we can be in step with out a HDMI cord 100 feet long to a monitor that we don't have.

    ok that is the problem it will not login on my surface pro. I even changed my password on the system last week and that didn't help, so the question is should I be able to login to logos with two different devices at the same time?

    I’m slightly confused.

    In your first post you talked about Proclaim, now you are referring to Logos.

    The first is presentation software, the second is Bible study software both from the same company (apologies if you knew this)

    But, yes, you should be able to log into to Logos on multiple devices.

    But it seems as though you can‘t log into the Surface Pro even if the other computer is not running so it looks like some local authorisation issue

    Do you have either an iPad or an Android tablet?

    And is the person running the computer and sound using Proclaim?

    If so, you could install the Proclaim app on the tablet and that would stay in sync
