Hello,  
I want to setup a 2nd Node. But when i request a auth-key i always get the same as i got for my first node.  
Is this right? can i sign my 2nd node with the same auth-key?  
(I build a new identity for it).

PS: Ah, i see, i have to use another email-adress.

No You cant use the same authkey and you can use the same email address as well you get a new authkey everytime you sign up as long as you used the old one.
