Hi, i've found some discussion about it, but i've tried also this configuration: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Multiple_clients
but it doesn't work, The client says: The authentication token provided by the launcher is of an invalid format. Please try again or contact EVE customer support.

One client is payd and one is trial, is that the problem?

Sorry for my english Shocked and thank you

Trial account cannot log on if any full account is already logged on. Upgrade the trial to full paid account, and you'll be able to have 2 at the same time. Also, you don't lose the free trial days when you upgrade to paid; they get saved.

EVE Wiki article is old.

All you need to do is start one game, type your login into the launcher, click Play, then click the "Log with different account" in the launcher and type the second set of login and password, then click the Play button again.

If you want to see the EVE windows side by side you have to configure them to Windowed Mode and smaller resolution, from the ESC -> Graphics menu. If you have 2 screens attached to the computer, you can specify which screen is for each EVE client, again at the ESC -> Graphics menu.

its been along time since I ran an alt but I remember the system no liking me running a trail and my main.
so yes that trail can be your problem

Why would anyone want to run their main while they've got a toon in the beginner's zone? Just what are you UP to, EH? Cool

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

As said above, trial accounts cannot be ran while playing your main account.

Get trial (21 days), sub (14.99 a month max), and use the reward for a plex (another 30 days).

Ban, 81 days for 14.99. I drubkenly did it this way (but for the 6 month sub, even cheaper). Best drubkenly purchase ever.

Yay cyno alts!!!!
