There are 3 options to manage multiple LinkedIn accounts:

1) [DANGEROUS] Use the same license and the same installations (the same Chrome instance) : use different Linked Helper list for each LinkedIn account : just log out from one LinkedIn account and login into another

- can’t work simultaneously

- there is a risk to forget switch list for the right account
- there is a risk of detecting you by LinkedIn — LinkedIn doesn’t like when you manage multiple Linkedin accounts

+ easy installation

+ don’t need additional licenses

2) Use the same license, but separate installation (separate Chrome instance) for each LinkedIn account : just switch a license between installations

- can’t work simultaneously

- not super easy installation, but for Windows it will take about 10 minutes for 3 installations (Chrome instances)

- have to switch license each time, when you switch to another installation

+ there are no risks to forget switch list for the right account

+ don’t need additional licenses

3) Buy licenses for each installation:

- need additional licenses

- not super easy installation, but for Windows it will take about 10 minutes for 3 installations

+ can work simultaneously

+ there are no risks to forget switch list for the right account

+ don’t have to switch license each time when you switch to another installation

How to install separate Chrome instances:

The easiest way:

The old ways:

for MAC : https://medium.com/linked-helper/how-to-setup-separate-chrome-instance-for-mac-f1c7d09e9208

Here are scripts, which run several Chrome instances on MAC https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwIBOuOHC0GuengtX0J6NkdON3c

for Windows : https://medium.com/linked-helper/how-to-setup-separate-chrome-instance-for-windows-9ac9921b81b3

you just need to create several Chrome shortcuts with the target field:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir="c:\foo1""C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir="c:\foo2""C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir="c:\foo3"
