Hi.

I'm currently running on trial account. Im a bit of a trader, but despite knowing prices between different systems[eve central] i dont know what is the demand/how much is sold per day. My plan is to buy cheaply in Jita and sell in different trading hub like
Amarr. So i need a second account to sit in Amarr and basically check demand of different products, while my main character will haul things from Jita and sell them. But i cant seem to start another account, no matter if its ALT on current account or if its another account made on different email.
Is it really necessary to upgrade both account with plex to be able to use them simultaneously.

Yes, but you can also use eve-central.com.

You are limited to one trial. Unless you want two accounts, just use a character slot for a price checking char in Amarr.

I can use character slot, yes, but i cant use it simultaneously with my main character. I need to log off and log in, which is pretty annoying :/

Well, it is not possible to log the same account twice, and the only way of having 2 characters logged on at the same time is by having two accounts, thus both subscribed.
However, as mentioned earlier, EVE-Central has all the infos you need.

You answered your problem in the first sentence.

A trial account means you cant open any other account at tue same time.

You can have as many PAYING accounts open at the same time as you want (or your PC can handle).

I've been able to run a second account (sub'd or trial) using VMware. Its perfect for sitting in stations, but its slow as hell for other purposes.

I would suggest this as a quick fix, in the long run though a second account is very, very useful. Training that second account early will help you knock off those beginner skills that you would need.

If you have 2 PCs you can run 2 trials (or a trial and a subbed).
Or if you're a geek run a virtual server ;)
