Start up ResEdit, do a "Get Info" on your application file, and set the
"Shared" bit. Save your change. That should be all there is to it.

We hit this problem with applications on read-only volumes, which
baffles me--can someone from Apple tell us why this is necessary? Why can't
you unconditionally multi-launch an application on a read-only volume,
regardless of whether it's marked "Shared" or not? It's not going to
make any difference to the application code, no matter how badly it's written.

Is it just a way of discouraging licensing violations?
