Enable Polygamy in Windows Live Messenger

Dec 19, 2008 by rohit


Users with multiple Windows Live IDs cannot sign in to Messenger with more than one ID at a time, and because of that users go for multi-IMs like Pidgin, Digsby etc.

Earlier we used various third-party patches and addons How To Enable Polygamy in Windows Live Messenger

Follow the steps below to enable multi-ID support in Live Messenger.

1. Open Registry Editor (Start > type regedit)
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Live
3. Right click Messenger and create a new DWORD called “MultipleInstances” (ofcourse, without the quotes)
4. Right click the newly added registry key and choose Modify. Set its Value data to 1.
5. Close Registry Editor and enjoy!

You can now launch Windows Live Messenger as many times as you want and sign-in with as many Windows Live IDs as you want.
