several instances of singleton class

Question

I have some class it is a singleton we have this class in already several applications and it is used there as a singleton.

Now i am writing some new application and i need several instances of that class , what is a best practice to have sevaral instances of it ?

By deriving from it and making the private constructur to be public, I work with c# ?

Or there can be someother idea here ?

Thanks

Simple: don't make it a singleton. The word 'single' is there for a reason.
