Running Multiple Instances of LAW on a Single Workstation
#DidYouKnow: One of the enhancements in the newer versions of CloudNine LAW allows you to support multiple user instances from a single workstation.
Example: An attorney logs in to a virtual or physical machine to perform document review and searching while at the same time, an analyst runs a tiff conversion job without tying up additional resources.
Finding Balance Produces Efficiency and Cost-Savings: For a small litigation team to find the perfect balance in their workflow and productions, it is essential to leverage their resources efficiently and complete projects affordably.
By running simultaneous instances without requiring separate machines for each process, you’ll find faster project turn-around and immediate savings to infrastructure costs.

Supporting multiple user instances from a single operating system or virtual machine is a feature included with the most current version of CloudNine LAW and was first introduced in version 7.4, released in May 2020.

What’s New With CloudNine LAW
Below is a breakdown how multi-instance scenarios work with various LAW processes:
TURBO IMPORT Turbo Import already supported multiple logins prior to the LAW 7.4 release. You can run as many instances up to the available cores on a virtual or physical machine. |
BATCH PROCESSING If an instance of LAW is batch processing, a second instance will be prompted to create a distributed batch job, which will be queued and automatically processed when the first instance is done or another LAW machine (different virtual or physical machine) becomes available. |
ED LOADER ED Loader is limited to one instance per virtual or physical machine. When ED Loader is already running and a user tries to open a second instance, the user will be notified that an ED Loader instance is already running. |
OCR Multiple OCR batch processes cannot be run. If an instance of LAW is running OCR via Batch Processing, a second instance will be prompted to create a distributed batch job, which will be queued and automatically processed when the first instance is done or another LAW machine (different virtual or physical machine) becomes available. |
INDEXING
Multiple LAW instances cannot index the same case, but they can index different cases in parallel. The total number of index workers across all instances of LAW on a system is limited to the number of available cores. This is further limited by the “Index Workers” case setting.
|
SCAN
Only one instance of LAW can be connected to any scanner on a system at a given time. A user can disconnect from a scanner to allow other users on the system to use it. If a scanner is disconnected, the next time LAW is launched, a scanner will not be connected automatically.
|
TURBO EXPORT
Turbo Export is limited to one instance per virtual or physical machine. When Turbo Export is already running and a user tries to start a new Turbo Export, they will be informed that Turbo Export is already running. |
LAW MANAGEMENT CONSOLE (LMC)
One instance of LMC is allowed per machine. If a user attempt to launch a second LMC on the same system, they will be shown a message indicating the user that is currently running LMC on the machine. |
ADMINISTRATION Multiple instances of LAW can generate reports, view documents, and perform administrative tasks. |

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT CLOUDNINE
Discovery Production
This software is easy to use and allows us to upload and download documents as they become ready, saving us both time and money.
Great E-Discovery Company!
We have worked with CloudNine on several cases, and have been quite happy with the service that we have received. Their support staff is responsive, friendly and helpful in assisting me with providing the technical information that my clients need. Their review platform, CloudNine, is robust, easy to use and ideal for a firm like ours where we don’t have to buy and support the software.
Great database for both small and voluminous litigation matters.
User friendly software and great customer service!
Reviewed, analyzed and tagged 100,000+ documents as part of class action law suit.
Overall great experience. Software is very user-friendly. Search filters were very helpful. Customer service was always quick to diagnose and solve any issues I ran into or answer any questions I had. I would definitely use this product and CloudNine in the future.
Amazing People, Great Software
I contacted CloudNine with a last-minute request for help with the hands-on portion of an e-discovery class I taught at the law school with Donna Chesteen. The staff at CloudNine were amazing. They set up a custom data set for the students to search against, and spent time teaching Donna and me the basics of their system, and had us up and running in less than a day. The students were able to quickly learn the search tools and produce meaningful results for purposes of the class with minimal effort. We also demoed other cloud-based software for the class, but the students clearly preferred the CloudNine system. Cloud Nine is straightforward enough to figure out on your own, but powerful enough to handle the most complicated searches. Having seen it in action in the classroom, I am making the switch to CloudNine in my private practice.
