  1. Only one account can be used per game-type pool , but you can use more than one games on the same game-type pool.
    For example: If you want to use the same account on CS2 and Dota2 , you can add both games on the same game type (Steam game type)
  2. If you want to use the same account across multiple games within the same launcher, simply add the launcher as the game pool directly. The account will then be used for all games owned by that launcher.
  3. Please do not skip the steam id, iCafeCloud client will save your steam's data in the cafe server and can restore your steam's data from the cafe server if you login with the same steam account next time.
  4. For steam accounts you should also disable Steam guard.
  5. The account will be added in the pool and will be used when users play the game using a center account from iCafeMenu (Figure 4).

  1. If a client computer closes the game or experiences a crash, the game launcher will close after 5 minutes. If the client tries to launch the license again during those 5 minutes, they'll be told the game is still running and the launcher will close in time. Now the client can run the game again.
  2. You can enable or disable the automatic game process checking from the game settings. Disabling this will prevent the system from automatically checking for game closure after 5 minutes.(Figure 10)
