Every time I try and run two instance of SB, it keeps pulling the URLs from the other instance. For an example I do blog analyzer, and I try and do a live link check, it pulls the links from the blog analyzer every time. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
 
It's a known problem with addon's, I pinged scrapebox support about this almost a year ago.. There response was;

Also the addon thing is a known problem, because the IPC uses the process
name to exchange data back/forwards between the addons and ScrapeBox. If
multiple scrapebox.exe processes are running then IPC does not know what one
to send it to.


Maybe in the future it will get fixed but it's been like that for awhile..

I keep hearing people talking about running two instances, I wonder how they are doing it

I don't know this from personal experience, but it would probably work if you ran it in a separate vmware instance, ya? You'd take up a bit more resources, but they'd definitely be completely separate that way.

I would just try renaming the ScrapeBox.exe file, to for example SBox1.exe, then on your other instances rename the .exe to SBox2.exe, SBox3.exe and so on.

Doing so bodges the update option, the .exe needs to be called scrapebox.exe for an update to work I have found.
