I would like to know if this is possible to run two instances of CAMduct in the same computer using one license.  I am thinking of having the shop user to run one instance of CAMduct, and then having a background task to run a second instance of CAMduct.  Both instances will be run under the same user account.  Can I do this?  If this can be done, this should help me to automate the process of running jobs through CAMduct.

My CAMduct free trial has expired.  Therefore, I cannot test this in my computer.  I am hoping that someone can do a quick test to prove/disprove this.  Thanks.

Yes. I do that all the time with both CAMduct using a standalone perpetual license, and with ESTmep using a shared network license. As long as both copies of the software are running on the same computer, they only use the one license. With a network license, however, the username you are logging in with must be configured to allow multiple logins to run multiple copies.
