Will Yahoo allow me to have Instant Messaging on two different computers?

I have IM installed on my computer at work and I recently installed it on my new computer at home. The installation went fine, but last night I could not access IM on my home computer. Will I have to delete IM from my work computer if I want it on my home computer?

    You can have yahoo IM installed on any computer (any number of computers) that you like.

    But you can be signed in on only one at a time. If you sign in at work, don't sign out, then go home and sign in, IM will automatically sign you out at work...

    It sounds like your issue may be caused by something wrong with the instalation on your home computer....

    No, you shouldn't have to delete the IM off of your work computer. You should be able to have both installed and be able to log on either one.

    There has to be something else going on.

    I use Yahoo at work and at home... and even when i travel on a third computer.

    Look for some other reason you couldn't sign in.

    i think of of you are able to prefer to have 2 profiles on your workstation, then press the commencing up up button, pass to sign off, then press replace shopper, after which you will have the two IDs on on a similar time, yet you will could prefer to alter purchasers to and fro
