Multiplicity 4

Former master demands product key, and mouse cursor visible when moving to other computer's screen

from Stardock Forums

Windows Version Number: Windows 10 22H2 (19045.7663) on master, Windows 11 25H2 (26200.9457) on slave
App Version: 4.07

So, I recently bought Multiplicity 4, and installed it so that the master is on my gaming computer, and the slave is my 2nd computer. After I swapped them (for reasons unrelated to this), making the master slave, and vice versa, writing the product key in on the new master, I started getting the popup shown here https://i.imgur.com/sTgTcBH.png - I hesitate writing it in because when I swapped I was told that I couldn't have the key on both computers (or something to that effect). There doesn't seem to be any issues with this, as it (so far) only appears once some time after I start the computer or reboot, and nothing seems to be restricted.

Also, maybe not a bug as such, but an annoying thing that I noticed after swapping, when I move the mouse pointer from the slave (on the left side) over to the master (on the right), the pointer gets stuck on the edge. Is it possible to hide the pointer as it moves to another screen connected with Multiplicity?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. From what I know you will need to deactivate from your old master pc, since it is not needed for secondary multiplicity system. And only activate it on the new master system.

Yes, I did deactivate it on the computer that was changed from master to slave already, but now it requests the key again. The former master has been set to be secondary computer.
