If MC is online on another machine, how can I open offline  [SOLVED]

Hi, I have a trading machine running, I want to open MC offline on another machine, so I can do basic non realtime things.

How can I open an instance of MC to work offline, where it does NOT disturb the trading that is taking place on the online instance.

is this still the only answer?

arnie, if MultiCharts was previously authorized with your license on that PC - you can disconnect the PC from the Internet, start MC, switch it into the Offline mode.

Thanks. Gordon

I am going to answer my own question. Yes, disconnecting from the internet, and click offline mode is the current way to run off line.

For others, under "preferences", in the "data server mode tab" there is a check box which will prompt you on startup to allow you to open MC on line or offline. I would suggest you click that checkbox as it will stop you from needing to unplug your network cable.
