Multiple Instances of Scrapebox - Using it On Many Computers

[ramtripper]

does anybody know, can i install sb on 10 pc's in my office and run it at the same time? is that technically fine?

or is there a way to do something like that? i dont wanna buy sb 10 times to use it on my computers.. it seems a little ridiculous.

You would have to have the same hardware ID for each of the computers you want to run it on.

aka install it and clone the hd?

Im not too sure how to get the same hardware ID.. I think one way is to virtualize your server into as many instances as you want to run, if you use Xen to virtualize, I think all the virtual servers will have the same hardware ID.

Hope that helos, thanks

Can I run more then 1 instance of scrapebox without buying another license?

Yes. You can run multiple instances of scrapebox with one license, however all instances must be run from the same physical machine.

Each instance must be run from a separate folder.

For instance create a second empty folder:

/scrapebox/
/scrapebox2/

Then copy the contents from your original scrapebox folder to the second folder so you have two separate copies.


How do I run scrapebox on multiple machines?

You need to purchase a separate license for each physical machine that you want to run scrapebox on.

Hi, I just gave this a go - and can confirm it works. I'm not sure how well it will handle posting on one version, and harvesting on the second... not sure if it will slow the computer down too much and underperform, but am going to run a few tests to see!

Many thanks!!!

Yeah try the virtual machine to connect all your machines its your best bet. Unless you wanna buy separate licenses
