One Windows host can have numerous Framework Managers installed and running at the same time. The requirement is that each Framework Manager instance is installed at a separate physical location, and that each instance is configured with Cognos Configuration for the correct respective Gateway URI and SDK URI.

In order to do this you must ensure that:

* You use a Framework Manager installation media CD or download.
* Specify the installation location as a path which does not already contain a Cognos ReportNet or Cognos 8 BI installation.
* At the end of installation open Cognos Configuration.
* Setup Gateway URI and SDK URI settings correctly
* From the Cryptography menu, click Cognos, Server Common Name enter a variation of FM 1 at , FM 2 at for the different installed instances.
* Ensure that the referred Cognos ReportNet or Cognos 8 BI installation System is running and save configuration.
* Cognos Configuration will recieve the keys from the target system.
