Mulitple instances using NAS and various computers

We recently purchased a Naim Mu-so and have a NAS on the network, so we've copied all our music (in .flac and .mp3 format) to a folder on the NAS. We have several computers in the house and I've installed MinimServer on the NAS and Minimwatch on Computer A, and that setup works fine - i.e. the Naim app on our mobile phones can see the MinimServer instance attached to Computer A and play files from the NAS via this connection.

However, there are two other computers in the house, which we would like to be able to use interchangeably with the first as different computers are on at different times. I've since installed MinimServer and MinimWatch on Computer B and this allows Computer B to play files from the NAS through the Mu-so. However, this instance of MinimServer does not appear in the Naim mobile app under UPnP servers.

So my question is, is it possible to have one instance of MinimServer on a NAS, have an instance of MinimWatch on each of three computers, and allow a mobile app which searches for UPnP servers to see whichever computer(s) happen to be on at the time, and choose one for playing files from the NAS?

You can use MinimWatch on several computers.
What are you trying to achieve?
There is no need to use MinimWatch while playing music that is stored on your NAS.
Minimwatch can be used to configure MinimServer and solve e.g. tagging problems via logfiles.
