Two Game Accounts - Question

Lasse B. · Apr 30, 2015

I wasn't talking about "game installation" or even "launcher installation" folders, I was talking about the single launcher database where everything comes together from all launchers running on a Windows user account.

A simple way around it is to make backups of whatever is in Frontier_Developments (the one containing the underscore, not the one without it) for any given game account you want to use and just copy them back as needed. Or you can use my E

Think I'll just install it on another computer then. Lol.

Asuming we are allowed more than one account? Not going to buy another one if its considered against the rules!
Is there anywhere that states either way onthis?

Doubtful, but using the multiple accounts to cheat would be.
You're dangerous/jewel in the rough, you've undoubtedly seen the exploit posts.

The EULA (https://store.elitedangerous.com/ed-eula/) doesn't say anything about multiple licenses as far as I can tell.
From a business perspective: Would it make sense to forbid a player to purchase multiple accounts?
From an EULA perspective: Would it make sense to forbid a player to purchase multiple accounts if none of his accounts was ever used in violation of the EULA?

You can have more than one account. I emailed support at Christmas when a relative bought a mercenary edition for me, not knowing I was already a kickstarter backer with an explorers edition account. Support said as long as both accounts are registered under different email addresses there is no problem

With two accounts you can cash in all your bounties. Care to explain how is this against EULA? If so, what step specifically you think is violating it?

1) Where did I specifically state anything relating to bounties?
2) Where did I mention any of the exploits I was thinking of?

You didn't mention any specific exploits, that's why I'm asking why having two accounts might be considered an exploit.
