I have one company in which I share my billings account with a partner. Now I have a new business that I would also like to run with Billings, with a different partner. What is the best way to do this? Can I install it twice on my computer? Can I split the access on the original software? Any Ideas?
Thanks,
George

i also need this... if there is a way, i'm interrested. If i have to pay for an extra licence, no problem.

This is a good question and I am concerned that after 11 days no one has posted an answer. I am new to Billings and I may be completely off here but it seems that you may be able to accomplish what you want by setting up separate "workers" for each of your businesses. You may be the only actual live person doing the work but if I read the provided information correctly you can set up workers with different billing rate and other information and you can assign different projects to different workers. I have one basic business but 3 main clients each requiring very different end products billed at different rates. I am going to try and set up multiple versions of myself as different workers and see if this works.

Hopefully someone from Billings or someone here with more experience can either confirm this as a solution or provide a better answer.

Multiple user feature is on the wish list for a lot of us. I have a similar situation to Geo and I have tried to do something like jmac's suggestion, however Billings uses the same invoice numbering iteration (which means there are gaps in the run of invoice numbers if the other business has used the next available number).

You may be able to ignore numbering gaps in estimate, invoices and statements however the major problem arises when the balances carried forward come from all the unpaid invoices in Billings. That means that any outstanding invoices for company X will show up in the Previous Balance of company Y and vice versa.

Perhaps the only way around these problems is to follow Lozit's way, an extra licence. However I suspect you may need multiple computers or a partitioned drive with different boot systems and a Billings licence on each.

I found a way to do it, but i'm not sure Marketcircle will love that so i will not explain a step by step. I made a script that rename some files so i could launch Billings with others data.
So i use this script before launching Billings to swith from 1st account to 2nd account.

Yes, I was just thinking that if you could rename the back-up files or change the save-to folder so that you could have two differently named back-ups or save the backups into two separate areas, then you could have two separate data bases and you could just restore to whichever one you want to use. I'm not a programmer so can only dream... and beg...
