# Installing multiple BxEngine services on the same server

## BxEngine can be installed multiple times on the same server to support running different versions for different customers.

### BxEngine: Installing Multiple Services on the Same Server

For some providers, it may be desirable to have multiple or all customers on a single SQL and/or application server. We support installing multiple BxEngine services on the same server. In this guide, the starting point is that BxEngine already exists on a server, as it must first be installed normally. See [BxEngine: Installation](https://kb.bxsoftware.no/en/hjelp/bxlogistics-installasjon-del-1-bxengine?hsLang=en) for instructions. It is recommended that the hosting/ERP provider internally documents which customer the original BxEngine service belongs to.

**Note:** Be cautious when performing this installation to avoid errors with database/service names, etc.

💡 **Tip:** Consider using the first BxEngine installation as a **"main installation"**, e.g., for your own test/demo setup. This can be updated to the latest version before installing services for new customers without affecting existing ones. New customers will then always start with the latest version. Use the **C:\\Program Files (x86)\\BxSoftware\\BxEngine** folder as a **template** for new services. See **Step 3** below for details. Contact [**support@bxsoftware.no**](mailto:support@bxsoftware.no) for access to a demo license if you haven't received one before.

- [Uninstalling a service](https://bxsoftware.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SUP/pages/449151023/BxEngine+Installasjon+flere+servicer+p+samme+server#BxEngine:Installasjonflereservicerp%C3%A5sammeserver-Avinstallasjonavservice)

### 1. Installation of service

#### Step 1: Create a New SQL Database

- Name the database following this format:  
  **BxEngine\_firmacode\_customername** (or your preferred naming convention).
- As a minimum, include the **firmacode** in the name to **distinguish between services and licenses in the partner portal.**

#### **Step 2: Create a New SQL User**

- Name the user similarly:  
  **bxengine\_firmacode\_customername**
- The user must have the following permissions: 
    - **db\_owner** and **dbo** in the default schema
    - **db\_datareader** on the ERP database
    - The **default schema on the ERP database** must also contain **dbo**
    - (For **Visma Global**, the schema should be the company database name. 
          - Example: If the database is `CustomerASGLOBALData`, the schema should be `CustomerAS`)

#### Step 3: Duplicate the BxEngine Folder:

1. **Make a copy** of:  
   `C:\Program Files (x86)\BxSoftware\BxEngine`
2. **Rename the new folder**, e.g.,  
   `BxEngineFirmacodeCustomername`

#### Step 4: Configure the New Installation

1. Inside the new folder, locate the  `_Config` folder.
2. Rename it to `Config`  
   *(Important: Do not change this in the original template folder).*

#### Step 5: Register the New Service

1. Open **Command Prompt (cmd)** and navigate to the new folder:
   
   `cd C:\Program Files (x86)\BxSoftware\BxEngineFirmacodeCustomername`

   *(If it's on another drive, use `cd /d D:\` first.)*
2. Run the following command:
   
   `bxinstall -i -s "BxEngineFirmacodeCustomername" -n "BxEngineFirmacodeCustomername" -d "BxEngine service for firmacode customername"`

   *(Replace `firmacode` and `customername` with the actual values.)*
3. Press **Enter** to execute.
4. Click **Yes** when prompted to run `BxInstall.exe`.
5. Press **Enter** when `BxInstall` confirms execution.

#### Step 6: Start and Configure the New Service

1. Open `Services.msc` to verify the new service appears in the list.
2. Run `BxEngine.Monitor.exe` from:
   
    
   
   `C:\Program Files (x86)\BxSoftware\BxEngineFirmacodeCustomername`

   *(The setup box may take a moment to appear—be patient.)*
3. Enter the following details in the setup box: 
     - **License key**
     - **SQL Server\\Instance**
     - **BxEngine Database**
     - **User/Password**
4. Click **Confirm** → **Yes** (on the setup script prompt) → **OK** (on the next two dialogs).

🎉 **Congrats! You’ve installed another BxEngine service on the same server!**

#### Step 7: Final Adjustments

1. Open `BxEngine.ini` in Notepad from:
   
    
   
   `C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\BxSoftware\BxEngineFirmacodeCustomername\Config`
2. Locate:
   
    
   
   `LocalPort = "0"`
3. Change it to:
   
    
   
   `LocalPort = "-1"`
4. **Save and restart the service** to avoid port conflicts.

### 2. Uninstalling a BxEngine Service

⚠ **Note!**

**Do not uninstall BxEngine using the standard method** (this removes the main installation). We will introduce better uninstallation routines later, but for now, follow these steps!

#### Step 1: Disable and Delete the Service

1. **Stop and disable** the service from `Services.msc`.
2. **Delete the service's installation folder**, e.g.,  
   `C:\Program Files (x86)\BxSoftware\BxEngineFirmacodeCustomername`

#### Step 2: Remove Registry Entry

1. Open **Registry Editor** (`regedit.exe`)
2. Navigate to:   
   `Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\`
3. Find the service:  
   **BxEngineFirmakodeCustomername**
4. Right click → **Delete**
5. Click **Yes** when prompted.

#### Step 3: Restart the Server (If Necessary)

If the service still appears in `Services.msc`, log out and back in, or restart the service at a convenient time.

**Your BxEngine service is now completely removed.**
