Can someone please tell me if it is possible to install Lightburn twice on the same computer. For instance, one on the C drive and one on the D drive without them interacting. I would like to have one for my diode and CO2 lasers and the othe for my fiber laser and keep all settings etc separate. I know it is possible to run many instances of Lightburn on the same PC, but it in not quite what I am looking for. Many thanks.

Hello, thank you for the documentation. I will give it a go and see how I get on.
Lightburn has a device and libraries that are related to that specific device.
If it’s setup properly you should be able to use one copy and select the device. That will align settings and so forth to that device configuration…
I think you’re making it too complicated…

I disagree, I have found that some settings configured for one device are copied to all devices, which is undesirable for me anyway. For instance, I wanted the centre cross on the galvo laser, but not the other devices, but found it is present on all devices. Having two separate instances of Lightburn has cured this issue and wasn’t complicated at all.

Interesting.
Have you reported this to support@lightburnsoftware.com
Maybe is intended behavior, maybe is a little bug. Worth reporting it
@Colin
Sounds like everything is working as intended.
I am in an agreement with @leecassam, in that I set my center mark and use that with the fiber… I do not use it with the co2, but it’s there and I have to disable it. Then re-enable it when I go back to the fiber.
The units from the setting menu is apparently carried with the device type … It would be nice to have the editor reflect the machine type as I use it differently between the galvo and co2.
How you use the machine/editor may be a reflection on how we relate to the working area.
