I have started folding and I made 400 points and I have a passkey. I have a question, can I use my account on multiple PCs?

Yes you can.  Also RIP laptop.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

Before folding on a Laptop make sure that i has got enough of air flowing through, and also remove you're battery before using the client. and a nice suggestion use only the chrome app for laptops only.

 

And yes you can have 1000 pc's with one account only just use the passkey everywhere you set the settings.

The last time I tried folding on my laptop it was hitting 98oC with loads of airflow and a recently cleaned heatsink (re-installed with Z9 thermal grease), so I don't recommend you run F@H constantly. That being said, I deconstructed it later on and had my Arctic Freezer Pro 7 Rev 2.0 ghettod to the CPU, and the laptop barely went above ambient.

Yeah remove the battery before using the cliënt because f@h will drain the laptop more than Gaming and so on... It will shorten the battery lifetime.

thanks, I will surely look more into the possibility to remove the battery, i also use my laptop for school and stuff so that will make it less easy to take out the battery. anyways thanks for the warning!
