Server without a 2nd account?

[President of Twatemala]

Does anyone know how to start a server without a second account? I tried to set one up on my laptop so people can play while im offline and got a message saying that I would be disconnected from the game on my desktop.

anyone know of a way to launch the server without buying the game twice?

install steamcmd and run it that way.

I only logged into steam on my second PC to download the dedicated server. After that I run a bat file (and not through steam) and steam is not even logged in so I can still play on my main PC

Use the .bat file to run the server, you don't even need the steam account to run it in the background...
I open it in my PC at home when i leave, and play with my laptop elsewhere without any problem, just save your IP in case you can't see it in the server browser ingame.
