### 3.1.2. Making Simultaneous Connections

You can sign into EKM from the following EKM client types:

- Web browser

- Workbench

- Mobile

It is possible for you to be signed into EKM from more than one client type at the same time (web browser, Workbench, or mobile) provided that there is only one open connection on each client. For example, you can sign into EKM using the Firefox browser, and at the same time sign into EKM from Workbench.

Important:

- You cannot sign in to EKM using the same client type on two different machines. For example, you cannot sign into EKM from Workbench on one machine, and then sign into EKM from Workbench on another machine.

- You cannot sign in to EKM from two different web browsers on the same machine. For example, if you are currently signed into EKM in the Firefox browser, you cannot sign into EKM using the Chrome browser because there is already an active browser session for EKM. Only one active session per client type is allowed.

- If there is currently an active EKM browser session, and you attempt to sign into EKM again, you will have the option of terminating the current session and opening the new one, or cancelling the sign-in and keeping the current session open.

- If you have signed into EKM from Workbench, and attempt to sign in to EKM from Workbench again on another machine, the first connection will be closed.

When you are signed into EKM in a web browser, you can open additional browser tabs and windows and have multiple sessions running at the same time, without having to check out additional licenses (unless a higher-level license is required). For example, if you are connected to Workspace A in your web browser, and then open a new browser tab and connect to Workspace B, you will remain signed into Workspace A on the first tab. The same license that was used to sign into Workspace A is used for connecting to Workspace B (unless a higher-level license is required for Workspace B). This means that if you sign out of one workspace, the license will be released, and you will be automatically signed out of the other workspace as well. See Connecting to a Different Workspace for details.

For specific rules and details regarding licensing in EKM, see Licensing and Access and License Usage in the EKM Installation Guide.

Important: If you switch from one workspace to another on the same browser tab, you will remain connected to the first workspace. EKM will see you as having two open connections until you sign out.
