Newcomer / Intro Second Account via Steam - How to?

OK - in that case you can run that from the launcher without running Steam. So if you buy direct from Frontier you can run both accounts from one installation of the game on your computer - just by copying and renaming the EDLaunch.exe file (the launcher) - everything else stays the same. That is how I run my old Steam version, the newer one has to be run via Steam.

So that is one option - the other of course is the create a new Steam account and buy the cut-price offer and hope it validates with no issues. As I say I have no experience of running two Steam accounts of ED through Steam - have you thought of asking in the Steam forums if there are any drawbacks?
I have two steam a accounts and two copies of the game but I can not for the life of my log into them at same time on same computer both where bought dec 2020 so am I out of luck

I have never tried running two copies of the game simultaneously on one computer. I have read that some people do it - they close the EDLaunch app after loading one copy and then launch a different EDLaunch copy. I don't know if that actually works or even if you can do that at all with Steam. So, in short, I was not previously talking about running two copies at the same time on one computer, you need to ask others how they do it.
