Does Lync 2013 support multiple instances

lyncmultiple instancesvpn

I want to use Lync within my organization's network, and also I'm connected to a VPN, and I'd like to have another instance of Lync for handling the uers of the other network.

My colleagues currently use Lync 2010 from a locally installed virtual machine to achieve this double instance.

So can this be done? and if so, could I get some hints on how to do it?

Thank you

No, this is not possible.

If you're running Windows 8, you can install the desktop client and the Windows Store app for different accounts simultaneously.

You could also use a web interface (OWA) provided by Microsoft Office 365 or previous similar solutions.

You could also try to install Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 on the same system and use them simultaneously to achieve this though.
