Two main chars, two copies of M&B, one computer

Is it possible to have two main characters in C-RPG? Just to keep things more interesting.

Let's say I have two copies of M&B, but only one computer. Can I have a steam version and a non-steam version from Taleworlds.com? Will C-RPG recognize the accounts differently due to different serial numbers?

I got two copies of M&B, two main chars but only computer, too. I got 2 stamaccounts (both with 1 copy of M&B) to handle it and I never had any problems with it.

Yeah just don't try to be two different characters in strategus and exploit anything and you'll be ok.

Can someone explain this to a computer illiterate person? If I want to buy a second copy from Amazon, what do I need to do to keep the accounts seperate on one pc?

You can change the warband key that's activated in your computer's registry.

EDIT: Since someone already said this I'll explain how in detailed steps.

1/ Press the Windows key+R, opening Run, type 'regedit' in the field.
2/ Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MountAndBladeWarbandKeys.
3/ Double click serial_key.
4/ Paste in the key you want to use, you can save your keys in a notepad file or whatever.

I exactly tryied this, changing key under "serial_key" Problem is: The printed key i recived with the CD is 5x 5 digits long, in steam he gives me a 4x 4 digits long "multiplayer key" After i start the game it automaticly changes the key back to the one steam gives me, what do i do wrong?

Can you also use just 2 different steam accounts and log off one account and use the other.

Would that work?

Yes, it would. Atleast if each account has a warband key.

Just to warn people before spending unnecessary money - we will probably forbid having 2 main chars via 2 cd keys

But we can still use a second CD key for the instant 30feature, right?
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
