Hello, in Digi Anywhereusb plus created the user “sgb” (port 1). In AnywhereUSB manager, connected to USB. Created the second user “sgb2” (also port 1). On another computer, I went to AnywhereUSB manager under “sgb2”, but it does not connect to USB (Status: being used by: User: sgb). How do I set up a simultaneous USB connection for users?

Hi Sergey,

thanks for your question and welcome to Digi Forum.

Please note that each port cannot be used at a same time from two clients. Two clients can be connected at the same USB Plus HUB, but on different USB ports.

Please also check here: [https://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/90002383/default.htm#device/anywhereusbplus/content/reference/r\_menu\_option\_device\_connect.htm?TocPath=Connect%2520to%2520a%2520group%2520or%2520USB%2520device%2520in%2520the%2520AnywhereUSB%25C2%25A0Manager%257C\_\_\_\_\_2](https://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/digidocs/90002383/default.htm#device/anywhereusbplus/content/reference/r_menu_option_device_connect.htm?TocPath=Connect%2520to%2520a%2520group%2520or%2520USB%2520device%2520in%2520the%2520AnywhereUSB%25C2%25A0Manager%257C _____ 2)
