2nd CMDR

THATS IT....thanks cmdr Cagman... way to think on your feet...you were able to diagnose my issues on a detailed level and then back up to a general level...tricky move...thanks again !!!
 
oh boy...I launch my original launcher and get the "WELCOME DANIEL MOYLAN" screen. At the bottom I have the blue play button. Next to that I have ed horizons 64 or ed 64 or ed 32 and so on to choose to play. As for logging out ? I don't know if I ever do... I just x out of this screen

OK... lets take this in small steps...

1) Launch your original Launcher (yes, you HAVE to do this for this exercise)
2) At the top of the Launcher, below "Welcome (your name) you have a bunch of things... My Account, Options, Support, Forums, Store, Tutorials, Manual
3) Click on Options and then Select "Log out". Don't select "Log Out Machine".
4) When you have done that, that blue Play button will turn Orange and say "Log in".
5) Click on the "Log In" button, and then type in your new GMail email adress + password
6) This should prompt you with a verification code
7) Go to your email adress and find it, paste it in
8) What happens?

Ahhh.... Problem solved! :)

You don't need to use a 2nd windows account, can be done on the same one - you need a second install of the game though.

No.

You do not need a second windows account and you don't need a second install of the game.

You just need to log into the launcher with the second account email address and password you used when you bought the game for the second account.

Sadly it didn't work. Basically I have 2 choices. Log in and Register. Resister prompts me for a key code I have no idea where it is. log in sends me a code in enter it and nothing happens. I'm thinking I need to register/redeem the horizons pass. Then Log In ? I can't find the pass code anywhere. ps I don't go through steam. I do not receive an email in junk or anywhere else during the install so I'm baffled.
The code gets sent to your email address when you try and log on for the first time or after an update. Check with FD if you aren't getting one.
 
It would be helpful if FD included a 'Select CMDR' drop down in the launcher.

It can't be that difficult to do.

Probably not, but the launcher was created well before having more than one account was common so they never bothered. To be honest, they have a shed load of work to do on the game itself to be bothering about the launcher and multiple account when, as you can see from the above posts, there are a number of work arounds.
