Calibration AMY-v-TMY more than 1 year

I have an existing building which I am modeling with OS V1.6. I have deployed the Calibration Reports measure and am using an EPW weather file purchased that is based on the Actual Meteorological Year (AMY for both 2013 & 2014).
It appears that Open Studio will only accept a single year of data in the .epw file.

Is there a way to get 2 years of simulation output to enable 2 years worth of calibration results in a single run. I suppose one answer is to just run the model twice using just a single year.

Error when combining: When I tried to combine 2013 & 2014 this is my error: [openstudio.EpwFile] <1> Wrap around years not supported for TMY data, /files/SPtMasterTable_575532_2013_14_amy.epw' cannot be processed.

Thank you, Matt
