Sure - the community server uses the email address to connect to the
usernumber. So if you want to use the same user from two machines, you
need to register both PyDS installations with the same email address.

But you need to keep in mind that PyDS only renders HTML stuff and
upstreams that to the cloud. So you don't automatically have two PyDS
installations that share the same database - one would write over the
files from the other install.

What you can do is using the backup/restore feature to push your data
around. You need to stop the not used instance, to prevent duplicate
usage and diverging database content, though.

Another option would be to install the PyDS on the same machine as the
PyCS - that way you can access your PyDS from all locations where you
have a web browser. You need to setup user accounts and remote access
(remote* variables in your configuration file) to be able to do this.
