Can I run it on two computers?

August 23, 2026

This comes up on nearly every onboarding call, usually phrased as "can I put this on the sales manager's machine too, or will it post everything twice?"

Short answer: yes, you can run it on as many computers as you like, and no, they will not double-post.

How it works

The queue lives in the cloud. The posting happens locally. Those two facts together are what make multiple machines safe.

When you approve listings, they go into one shared queue attached to your dealership account. Every desktop app signed into that account pulls work from that same queue. When one machine takes a listing, it is claimed, and no other machine can pick it up. Machine A takes the Tucson, machine B asks for work and gets the next one down instead.

If a machine crashes or gets shut down halfway through a job, its claim is released after a few minutes and another machine picks that listing up. Nothing gets stranded, and nothing goes out twice.

Each computer keeps its own Facebook login

This is the part that catches people. Signing into Facebook on the front desk computer does not sign you in on the sales manager's machine. The Facebook session lives locally, on each machine, which is the whole point of the design: the posting has to come from a real browser on a real computer.

So if you add a second machine, you will enter the Facebook credentials there too, and you may get a security challenge on that machine the first time. That is expected. Facebook is being asked to trust a computer it has not seen before.

The one real caveat

Facebook treats each computer as a separate device. Two devices posting heavily to the same Facebook account at the same time can look unusual, and unusual is what raises the odds of a checkpoint.

For most stores this is a non-issue. A second machine that picks up a few listings a day is nothing. Where it starts to matter is if you are pushing serious volume from several machines simultaneously on one Facebook account. In that case, prefer doing most of the posting from one machine and treat the others as backup.

This is Facebook's behaviour rather than something the software decides, so no setting makes it go away. It is just worth knowing before you install on five desks.

What we would actually recommend

One posting machine. A desk computer that stays on during the day and does the work. This is the one that matters.

A second machine as insurance. Useful so that a dead computer on a Tuesday does not mean nothing posts until somebody fixes it. It will pick up the queue on its own.

Everybody else on the web app. Salespeople do not need the desktop app installed to be useful. They can browse the lot, read and fix write-ups, approve listings, and line vehicles up from a browser or a phone. All of that flows into the same queue, and the posting machine works through it.

That last point is the one that saves the most confusion. The desktop app is not the way people use the product. It is the thing that does the posting. Most of your team never needs to touch it.

What to tell your team

If it helps, here is the version worth repeating on the floor:

You can run MRKT Manager on more than one computer at once. They share the same queue, so a listing only ever goes out once, from whichever machine grabs it next. Each computer keeps its own Facebook login, and Facebook treats each computer as a separate device.

Wondering whether this would work on your lot? Paste your inventory page link into the dealership checker and find out whether MRKT Manager can read your stock. No account and no card to check.
