I can run just one camera alone

I am following this link

I need to run both cameras simultaneously

when running the second camera the output:

Can you show us the launch file you're using to start the sensor nodes, or the commands you're using. This may be a problem of the ports being different when both devices are connected at the same time.

sure, for Kinect:

roslaunch freenect_launch freenect.launch

for ASUS:

roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch

once running the second camera in the terminal of ASUS, output:

[ERROR] [1550795336.052843598]: Failed to find nodelet with name '/camera/disparity_registered_hw' to unload

also, the output for Kinect became:

[FATAL] [1550795336.061536430]: Failed to unload nodelet '/camera/disparity_registered_hw` from manager `camera_nodelet_manager'

This sounds like there may be a name conflict between the two launch files. Can you add both launch files to your original question and we'll see if we can find the problem.
