Customer would like to start multiple sessions of S-PLUS running on the same machine

Running multiple S+ sessions

Product: TIBCO Spotfire S+ Version: All supported versions OS: Windows --------------------

This can be achieved with the use of the flag /MULTIPLEINSTANCES.  

This can be added to the Target: line of your Spotfire S+ shortcut icon in Windows, then everytime the shortcut is clicked, a new instance of S-PLUS will open.  To set this, right-click on your Spotfire S+ icon and select “Properties”.  Scroll to the end of the Target line and add a space and then ‘/MULTIPLEINSTANCES’.    The target line would then read:

For S+ 6.2
"C:\Program Files\Insightful\splus62\cmd\SPLUS.exe" /MULTIPLEINSTANCES

For S+ 7.0
"C:\Program Files\Insightful\splus70\cmd\SPLUS.exe" /MULTIPLEINSTANCES

For S+ 8.0
"C:\Program Files\Insightful\splus80\cmd\SPLUS.exe" /MULTIPLEINSTANCES

For S+ 8.1
"C:\Program Files\TIBCO\splus81\cmd\SPLUS.exe" /MULTIPLEINSTANCES

For S+ 8.2
"C:\Program Files\TIBCO\splus82\cmd\SPLUS.exe" /MULTIPLEINSTANCES

Click “Ok” to apply the settings and close the dialog box.

You will need to do this to all icons you use to start S-PLUS.
