Help Setting Up Account for 2box

[Ruin]

Ok right now I play ffxi with my main on PC. I started on PS2 and later on bought the PC version, so I do have 2 sets of registration codes, altho I cant tell which is from which, and when I started to try and buy a 2nd PoL ID on my PC, none of the 2 worked.

What I want to do is: Play my main on PC as usual, and have a 2nd account which I can use on my ps2/ps3/or even a 2nd PC at the same time as my main, and be able to play account2 on my main PC if not using main account.

1> Is there any way ill be able to use 1 of the 2 registration codes I have already ?

2> If I need to rebuy a copy of FFXI, which do I buy? The package from PoL site that has all 3 expansions for 19.99?

3> If you buy a FFXI copy online say on my main PC, will it only be able to be used on PCs? Or the new PoLID I get will be able to be used on my ps2/ps3?

4> Is it possible to have 2 Accounts going on the same PC screen?

Any info on this be appreciated

1) You should be able to, if you try to put both of them in, one of them should work while the other doesn't if I'm not mistaken.

2) If you do need to rebuy, yeah, you can just get that one.

3) Registration codes aren't specific for stations, only the DVDs that come with them to install in said PC/PS2 etc.

4) Yes.

for 1, Yeah I tried both and both said error, doublechecked them etc, not sure what to do about that.

for 4, How do you set up up for 2 on 1 monitor/PC?

1) Hmm... try inputting both on PC and then both on your PS2? Maybe you have to activate it on the same console that you bought it with but I don't know why that would be, I activated mine on PS2 and later switched to PC but I guess that's different.

4) Windower, not square's

Just adding on to number 4, there is a little program called FFXI Monitor on the windower forums that makes switching between instances much easier. You can make a button on your controller be the switcher. Also something else I would recommend, there is a someone who created DualSend. This little program makes it so that you can set macros on one char, to control the other char. No network support yet though (don't know if it will ever have it since security reasons). Only problem with this is tat you have to know how to use spellcast and set up your own aliases to make the char use weapon skills or cast spells that would use quotation marks in the macros (like /ma "Thunder IV" <t>).

Which version of Windower enables 2 accounts to be played at once?

I have no luck at all using the newest windower version, it just crashes after I hit Play everytime. Will Windower Lite let 2 accounts play?

I have always had to turn off all plugins when running multiple instances of windower on one pc. Others have no problems with that, but maybe your setup is the same as mine. Also, I have to turn off Fraps and Steam(yeah, wtf? but steam makes it crash according to windows event logger).
