I was sure we used to be able to so this, but I can't find the option in V7.
When you play with several DJ's at a gig, it would be incredibly handy to be able to link all the laptops together (USB or LAN via hub - whichever is better), allowing the sync data to be accessible across all the computers.

I guess in order to allow that, the code in VDJ would have to check that the serial numbers were different - because individual users are only permitted to run one installation of VDJ at a time.
If it was two different DJs, or two separately licensed copies owned by one DJ then OK, but it would still need to be confirmed.

Yeah Simon you used to be able to link them up via a network cable and you could even run multiple instances of VDJ. Would be Nice if we could link up multiple computers.

I see it was introduced in VDJ 2 back when there were only two decks.
Apparently it was removed in VDJ 7 because, due to the new 99 deck functionality, there was "no need for this feature any more".....

Guess they didn't consider use by two DJs......

Yes, synchronizing two instances of VirtualDJ was capable via OSC before the multi-deck functionality. This feature was removed because of the multi-deck support. In the 2 years of multideck support this is only like the 2nd time I have seen the request pop up again. It may be some that we reconsider in the future, but is not currently on the TO DO list for the near future.

So why would you need more than one copy of VDJ when it can run up to 99 decks (plus sampler)?
I also don't see why you'd be "hauling loads of gear" when you're a Home user.
If you're out working as a DJ "every fri/sat night" then you need a Pro license or subscription.
