Dear

I have 2 Sierra Chart installed on 2 different computers (Computer A, SC version 2280 and Computer B, SC version 2291).
Both computer has the same configuration, data service is Interactive Brokers. The data feed works fine when there is ONLY ONE SC runs on either Computer.
However, when I have 2 SC runs on BOTH Computer A AND B, only ONE computer can successfully connect to the server and receive real data. The other computer unable to login to the server but keep retrying and receiving below message.

I also tried different Ports on the Computer A (eg. 7496) and B (eg. 7495) but no joy.
I used to be able to get real data for BOTH Computer A and B might be 2 months ago with previous versions ....

Thanks for your help.
