Running Stellarium concurrently with PHD2

I’m about to start using PHD2 soon so wanted to know if I can run my planetarium goto program ( Stellarium ) concurrently with PHD2 as there is only 1 com port allocated
Obviously I would select an object , slew to it and start tracking ,connect PHD2 select a guide star , calibrate and then start guiding
I’m concerned PHD2 won’t connect through Ascom to the mount if Stellarium is connected to the scope via EQMOD and StellariumScope ( only 1 com port )
Haven’t tried it yet but wanted some advice and personal experience
I realise that PHD2 will not guide unless you are locked on the object and a guide star is selected

Appreciate any advise on the subject

Thanks
