How to allow multiple users to access scrapebox on VPS?

Just trying to figure out if this is feasible

basically i have a few workers wanting to use my scrapebox, as i only have 1 license, i thought i would buy a vps so they could all connect to it.

Now i know you can run multiple copies of scrapebox on the same pc, but how could i allow each worker to login to the vps and use 1 copy of SB without disturbing the others.

Is it possible for multiple connections via remote desktop?

      As far as how many occurrences of Scrapebox you can have running at once on a VPS, it really depends on the VPS. If you are doing a large scraping job, it can eat up memory pretty quick. If you have multiple copies running at once doing that, you are going to need a pretty high end VPS.

      Also, Scrapebox gets a little unstable with multiple copies running at once sometimes. Especially the addons. For a lot of the addons, if you transfer URLs from the addon back to the Scrapebox harvester, it will usually transfer them back to the initial instance of Scrapebox and overwrite whatever was in that harvester box before.

    Seems like it'd be hard to manage. As Mike says, SB can get kind of finicky when you're running multiple instances. On top of that you'll have the issue of multiple people using the same VPS, which seems like it'd cause issues.

    You can get a VPS for less than $10/month so try it. It's sounds like nobody here has attempted this yet, including myself, but I'd like like to know if it worked. Please report back if you do go ahead with it, thanks.
