    Please enable the merging of computers. Or, if already enabled, please upgrade the server to the latest version. Merging is fixed there.

    Thanks!

      You should be able to merge two computers.

      I think the option is down at the bottom of the "computer" page.

      As long as the hardware and OS are the same you should be good to go... unless something has changed recently.

      There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers. - Richard Feynman

        I agree. However, I have machines with identical CPU descriptions and OS descriptions (per E@H), yet cannot merge. This is not unique to E@H. Many older server applications have is this same problem. The latest BOINC server is much better with this issue.

        Here is an example:

          Hey, have the same problem. The reason is, that the CPU Identification is now more detailed than in earlier BOINC version and the server can't handle the difference except the latest version which is not yet installed in various projects.
          Happy crunching, Christoph

          Greetings, Christoph
