It would great to manage separate databases of devices on multiple winbox, for example, winbox1.exe database of devices for an entire network wich I manage, winbox2.exe database of devices for another network or device list, winbox3.exe another one, this is what I mean with multiple instances of winbox

In other words I looking for a way to multiple winbox could coexist

Hope explain enough

Why not use Group in Advanced Mode.

Someone on here successfully modified winbox in a hex editor to change default port - you could potentially modify the default database path and run one unmodified and one modified

Beyond that - keeping your databases separate and import the right one each time you wanna swap between them is the only way I can think of unmodified.
