  1. Create "NEW" windows account
  2. Download vibersetup.exe
  3. Run vibersetup.exe as "NEW" account
  4. Start new installed viber as "NEW" account from C:\Users\"NEW"\AppData\Local\Viber\
  5. Register as second phone number

Enjoy

On Windows 10 you can run the traditional 'Desktop' app and the universal 'Windows 10' app simultaneously. Both can be downloaded from the Viber website: see screenshot. I've just tried and managed to activate both using different Viber accounts. Hope this helps.

I tried Sandboxie and it really helped me:

If you are already authentificated in Viber at PC, then:

  1. logout in Viber at PC
  2. launch Viber at Sandboxie (can run with %LocalAppData%\Viber\Viber.exe), authentificate
  3. launch Viber in regular way, authentificate

No way. Currently you can have only one mobile device and one PC for one viber account

Yes, you can! But only if one of the devices is your computer (PC or Mac). Viber Media Inc. launched Viber desktop version in May 2013

I managed to run several Viber instances (and actually, any app, that is supposed to be run in single instance) in one user session.

  1. Create new local user, say test (with password)
  2. Log in to test, so that Windows can create files for that user
  3. After Windows finished preparations, switch back to your primary user
  4. Download vibersetup.exe and move it to C:\Users\test\Downloads
  5. Shift + right click on C:\Users\test\Downloads\vibersetup.exe, and select Run as different user. Select test user, enter password, install viber
  6. Next time you want to start already installed viber: Shift + right click on C:\Users\test\AppData\Local\Viber\Viber.exe -> run as different user

Note that, creating user with password, requires adding answers on questions.
If you want to avoid that, add user without passowrd, than change passowd via control panel.

How to add it to start menu and run it w/o entering passowrd (optional)

  1. Right click on C:\Users\test\AppData\Local\Viber\Viber.exe -> Create shortcut
  2. Move Viber.exe - Shortcut to C:\Users\<your primary user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
  3. Rename Viber.exe - Shortcut to Viber.exe - test
  4. Right click on Viber.exe - test -> properties -> Shortcut, then set target to C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:test /savecred "C:\Users\test\AppData\Local\Viber\Viber.exe"
  5. Observe Viber.exe - test in the start menu!

I recently used below method on both windows 10 and 11:

  1. Create Local Account on Windows, and login with that account.

  2. Now Download and install viber.

  3. Sync the viber with your Phone (So that the viber on your PC can be opened).

  4. Once the viber Opened, you can now Sign-out from that account.

  5. Go back to your Main Account (the one that you want to run Multiple viber).

  6. Right Click on Desktop and Create Shortcut

  7. Paste the following (Change username only):

    C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /savecred /user:username "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Viber\Viber.exe"

  8. Done!
