Multiple instances of Store Commerce App in one pc

Posted on by Martina 40
Hi community,
 
for development and testing purposes, I need to have multiple instances of Store Commerce App for Windows installed on one (my working) pc. I need to connect to different environments (dev/test of multiple customers) running different versions with, eventually, different extensions installed.
Has anybody achieved this? I'm trying to avoid un-install and re-install each time I need to change customer.
I'm also using CPos, but this does not cover 100% my requirements.
 
Thanks

    Hi,
    You might consider creating VM for each customer environment. Each VM can have its own instance, specific version, and extensions of the Store Commerce application. I know very little about this, you can wait for support from other experienced experts.
    Best Regards,
    Hana

    Running two instances of SCA under the same Windows user profile is not supported. 
     
    Something worth trying, creating a second user account on your PC and then activating the second instance of SCA under the new account. To use the POS under the second account without switching/logging off, Shift + Right Click, select "Run as a different User". It works with most of the apps. I haven't personally tried on SCA.
