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

    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.

    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
