1) is it possible that I can use 2 separate sierra chart software to trade on same symbol and same account.(that is for a Automated Trading system using Ascil)

2) I read the documentation but I did not understand the reason why Sierra chart Automated Trading System cannot have multiple auto trading system trade on the same symbol using the same account. Could you explain in simple english

There is nothing preventing you from trading multiple systems on the same symbol/account pair.

Depending on the trading systems you are attempting to use, they may or may not conflict with each other.

An example of a conflict: System 1 says Long, System 2 says Short. One will win based on the order they occur.

The conclusion is that there may by undesired outcomes unless the two systems are "aware" of each other. So to be safe, it is best to avoid the scenario.

Perhaps you can share what it is you are trying to accomplish by trading multiple systems at a time.

There really is nothing to explain as long as you can resolve any problems related to this, then this is not an issue. It is up to you to manage any potential issues. Refer to:
