Several Installs on One PC

You can install Lords Bot more than once on the same PC, each copy in its own folder. To run them at the same time, each copy must be signed in to a different Lords Bot login, and each login needs its own active plan.

Do you need more than one install? #

Usually not. One install can run as many accounts as your plan allows. If you need more accounts, you can add account slots to your plan instead (Full plan only), from your account page at account.lords-bot.com.

A second install is useful when you have a second Lords Bot login, for example one for a friend or a separate group of accounts, and want both running on one PC.

What you need #

• One Lords Bot login per running install. A login can only be signed in on one copy of Lords Bot at a time. If a second copy signs in with the same login, it gets You are already logged in.
• An active plan on each login. Each login has its own licence and its own account slots.
• A separate folder for each install. Never point two installs at the same folder.
• Accounts added to each install separately. Account settings are locked to the Lords Bot login that saved them, so don’t copy account folders between installs that use different logins. Add the accounts in each install with Import or Create; see Add Your Accounts.

Install a second copy #

LordsBotSetup normally finds your existing install and offers to update it, so you have to tell it to use a new folder.

1. Download LordsBotSetup.exe from lords-bot.com, for example into your Downloads folder.

2. Press Windows key + R and run the setup with the new folder, for example:

   "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\LordsBotSetup.exe" --dir "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Lords Bot 2"
   

3. The setup shows Ready to install with that folder as the Install location. Click Install.

If your first install is not in the default folder (%LocalAppData%\Lords Bot), you can simply run LordsBotSetup and choose another folder under Install location.

The second install gets its own shortcuts and its own entry in Installed apps, named after its folder, for example Lords Bot (Lords Bot 2). It does not replace the first install’s shortcuts.

Lords Monitor with several installs #

Every install has its own Monitor.exe. You can set them up in either of two ways:

• One Monitor per install. Open each install’s Monitor.exe. Each one watches only the bot in its own folder, and turning on Run at Windows startup in each one starts all of them with Windows.
• One Monitor for everything. In one Monitor’s settings, turn on Supervise all bot installs. It shows one card per bot. Bots that are running are found by themselves; add each install’s folder under Watched bot folders so its bot is also started when it isn’t running.

A bot is only ever driven by one Monitor at a time, so the two setups don’t fight if you mix them. Discord alerts name the install folder they are about.

See Lords Monitor for all the settings.

Tip: To start several installs with Windows, use each Monitor’s Run at Windows startup (or one supervising Monitor). The bot’s own Settings > Options > Run at startup only works for one install at a time: ticking it in one install replaces the entry from the other.

Updates and uninstalling #

Note: Updating one install closes every Lords Bot and Lords Monitor on the PC, not just that install. Afterwards only the updated install’s Monitor (or bot) is started again. Start the other installs again yourself. If the updated install’s Monitor has Supervise all bot installs on, with every folder listed under Watched bot folders, it brings them all back.

Uninstalling one install also closes every Lords Bot and Lords Monitor on the PC. It removes only that install’s folder, shortcuts and Installed apps entry.

Each install checks for updates and is updated separately. See Updates and the Beta Channel.
