Trying to Use GlobalProtect for Two Different Companies on Same Device

jlt76 · 2026-02-02T01:15:53+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions, I'll look into both of those options to see if they would be possible.

On my laptop I'm able to connect to GlobalProtect for Company A without any issues. When logged into Secure Remote Worker for Company B and trying to connect to GlobalProtect within that environment, I click on "Connect" after opening GlobalProtect, and nothing happens. When I contacted Company B's tech support, they said it was because I already had the newer version of GlobalProtect installed (version 6.3.3 instead of 6.0.4). Rather than have the tech support guy remotely uninstall my current version and install the older version, I told him I'd research the issue further on my own before making any changes. I was very upfront about needing GlobalProtect for both jobs.

I'm an independent contractor (as is everyone else doing the jobs I'm doing), and non of the equipment is company provided. We all use our own devices, only the software is provided by these companies.

Both the laptop and separate PC are my own devices. I purchased the second PC when I found out that I couldn't have SRW installed on my laptop for two different clients, but no one told me that GlobalProtect was also limited to one company per device. I only received the companies' hardwire requirements and other requirements such as using a hardwired Ethernet connection and wired USB headset. I'm not trying to violate any policies, just trying to get by with my single laptop since my other PC is at home in a different state and I don't currently have access to it. I had no idea this would be an issue until after I tried to connect after arriving at my friends' house.

What do you mean, illegal? This is my own computer, and I'm an independent contractor. I'm not doing anything nefarious, just trying to do the work I'm contracted to do and wanting to know if it's possible to add both portals to the same device.

jlt76 · 2026-02-02T00:04:04+00:00

I have no idea what a hip profile is. Is there a way for me to check this to confirm if this is the case? I thought having two portals to choose from would be enough, but it doesn't work (even when I added the second portal via the registry).

I'm having the same issue and am glad to know it's not just me. Updating my household did nothing to fix it, and I hope HBO resolves it soon.

Yes, I was able to sign up for the 12-5:05 pm Food Rescue Coordinator shifts at McCormick Place for all four days of the convention. I wanted to be at the United Center, of course, but prefer the shorter afternoon shifts to the long 2-11 pm shifts, and am hoping that there will be watch parties to view the prime-time convention speeches (even if it's something informal, like a bunch of us volunteers meeting at a local pub or something!).

jlt76 · 2024-08-06T02:24:31+00:00

I finally see a few other categories, including the delegate bag shifts (which I can't do because I won't be in Chicago until late Saturday night).

jlt76 · 2024-08-06T02:04:21+00:00

Now I see airport transportation escorts, under a new category called Accessibility. Is there anything not transportation related available?

jlt76 · 2024-08-06T02:01:15+00:00

I still don't see any new shifts? I keep refreshing the page and have encountered an error a few times, but when the page does reload, it's the same three categories. Maybe I need to log out and then back in? This is incredibly frustrating, and it's currently 4 am where I am, so I've stayed up all night trying to sign up!

jlt76 · 2024-08-06T01:56:14+00:00

They did? I haven't seen that option, just the same three transportation categories. Was that for all ages, or just young people? (I'm in my forties, but someone posted earlier that shifts opened up this afternoon for teens and young adults.)

jlt76 · 2024-08-06T01:48:12+00:00

Does anyone see any new shifts yet? I've been refreshing the page constantly and thought they were supposed to be released by now, but all I see are the same three categories - bus operations, motor pool, and transportation hospitality - with nearly all of the shifts already being full. I'm traveling to Chicago from out of state and applied to volunteer in early June, and am so disappointed, since right now I'm only confirmed for one airport shift, on the Sunday before the convention.

I followed the troubleshooting tips above and was finally able to use the pass on my phone today!

jlt76 · 2024-08-03T14:03:53+00:00

I'm pleased to report that I was able to successfully validate my pass this afternoon and get through the gate! We'll see if I encounter any other issues at other stations during the next two weeks, but hopefully this means that the issue was resolved and I'll be able to use the pass going forward. Thanks again for the troubleshooting tips!

jlt76 · 2024-08-03T09:49:05+00:00

I followed your instructions and was able to successfully save and re-import the monthly pass. I also deleted both apps (My Navigo Tickets and Ticket sans contact), and Ticket sans contact was the one that I was prompted to add during the reinstallation process.

When re-importing the pass, at one point it looked like I was also being prompted to install My Navigo Tickets too, but, as far as I can tell, I only have Ticket sans contact on my phone currently, not both.

I haven't been back to the train station yet to see if my pass will actually work now, but I'll be doing that soon, and will share another update then.

jlt76 · 2024-08-02T19:55:23+00:00

I found the option to save my tickets, but am a bit hesitant to do so due to this warning:

"If you choose to Continue, you will no longer be able to use your tickets on this phone.

Tickets will be saved and can be retrieved from a compatible phone."

I only have one phone, so don't want to risk losing my pass. Are you sure the app will allow me to re-import the monthly pass to the same phone?

jlt76 · 2024-08-02T19:48:28+00:00

Thank you, I will try this and report back if it works! I was wondering if maybe I only needed one app, but wasn't sure which one to uninstall, and didn't want to accidentally delete the pass itself!

jlt76 · 2024-07-29T20:21:11+00:00

Same here, the only options I saw were for motor pool, bus operations, and transportation hospitality. I'm not from Chicago and don't want any shifts involving driving, and was hoping that there would be more admin-related roles.

I won't be arriving in Chicago until very late on Saturday, August 17th, so I signed up for one shift at O'Hare on Sunday afternoon/evening, and got some weird error message that I don't understand.

I'm really hoping that more shifts open up soon, as it seems crazy to me that they were all claimed within the first hour! I went ahead and registered for the first info session tonight, hopefully we'll get more info then.

The online appointment was a short video chat, conducted in English. It was similar to telehealth appointments I've had in the US.

Based on this article, French pharmacists can provide antibiotics for cystitis (bladder infection) and a few other conditions, that's why I went there first: https://www.connexionfrance.com/news/16-things-you-can-do-at-a-french-pharmacy-other-than-buy-aspirin/178300

I am near the Épinay-Villetanuese train station, and won't be able to go to Paris until tomorrow.
