Reply to No pen pressure happening on secondary PC in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Additional notes: 1) While I'm waiting, I've have the tablet connected to the primary PC (so I can see the brush), and along with the lack of pressure control, I noticed an odd latency... but only on initial contact with the tablet. After about a 1/4 second delay when the pen hits the tablet, the responsiveness of the brush is actually great (easily keeps up with any scribbling I do)... as long as the pen stays in contact with the tablet. As soon as I lift off, the delay h

No pen pressure happening on secondary PC in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Hi. It's hard to say if this is a Multiplicity thing or not, but I figured I'd ask... I have Affinity Photo running on my secondary PC, and I'm using a Wacom Intuos4 tablet. On the primary computer, the pressure sensitivity of the pen appears to be working (based on the Wacom control planel), yet in Affinity Photo, it seems no pressure is being detected. I BELIEVE I have things set up properly in the program (the 'Force Pressure' button is highlighted, which I thin

Nope, all Win7's over here. Odd... I could have sworn I saw it when I was first setting up the secondary (before doing the primary). Ya, I found my pointer disappeared when I log off the secondary computer. Not a big deal, as I can still blindly move it up and find the button. I think if I hit the button before the secondary computer actually turns off, I still have the pointer... so, I just have to be quick on the draw, I guess. Okay, thanks. Really lo

Sorry, I checked the Control page of my secondary computer, and noticed that it doesn't have the pointer for Win8 checkbox (although I do remember it being there before). I suspect it is because it is now configured or something? Any way to get access to that option again?

Thanks. Re: Hotkey to switch between computers in KVM mode... Any chance this could be added as a feature in a future update? Re: Invisible cursor... Oh, it's only on the setting screen of the secondary computers! That's why I couldn't find it anymore. I'm running Win7, but I'll try it out. Even if it doesn't work, it's fairly easy to blindly move the pointer up to reveal the Switch To Primary button.... But, this is actually another example of wh

Hello again. I have set up Multiplicity on my 3 machines, sorted out some of the things I was a bit confused about, and have found it is working very well. Very impressed and happy with this. It even solved a previous issue I had with the 3 machines sharing one set of speakers (involving crackly Y cables), as well as an issue I previously had due to a new graphics card not being compatible with the hardware KVM (and the awkward switching procedure I had to do every time, as

Multiplicity seems to be randomly switching the mute on/off rapidly (Solved... I think) in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

I'm testing Multiplicity KVM/Pro and for some reason the secondary computer is rapidly switching the audio volume mute on/off. I can't seem to get it to stay on or off. Any ideas what I should try? UPDATE: Oh, it looks like the Windows volume slider is irrelevant in the Multiplicity realm. I guess it's supposed to be muted or just left alone. Seems to be working now. Before, it was choppy, in sync with the flickering of the mute button.&n

Reply to Can't activate trial (SOLVED) in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Oh, hi, AZDude. I you snuck in a comment as I was submitting mine. Yes, it appears it was a permission thing. Unloading the program and re-running it as an admin did the trick. Still, maybe something to look into, for people like me who are running things as a non-admin (for security reasons). If I missed some instructions in the manual saying I should run as an admin, I apologize.

Reply to Can't activate trial (SOLVED) in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

As is so often the case, soon after I post a question on a forum, I figure the issue out. It seems I had to re-run the program as an Admin (...even though it seemed to be asking me for my password previously). I finally got the buttons to actually do something, and have now activated the trial. So, I should be good until the next question!

Can't activate trial (SOLVED) in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Hi. I downloaded the 30 day Multiplicity trial, installed it (seemingly successfully) on my secondary machine, but after installing on my primary machine, the 'Enter Product Key / Purchase Key / Start Trial' window comes up, but does nothing when I click on ANY of the buttons (just highlights, but no actual action occurs). One odd thing I noticed, is that when it was installing, the command window briefly opened and said 'Multiplicity removed'... although it appears the full ins

Awesome. Thanks for the upgrade price info. I downloaded the demo, and will give it a try. Another question, please: I have got 3 PCs connected via a router. If I use Multiplicity KVM or Pro, will the content/activity on the secondary machines be 'visible/accessable' to the internet (hackers)? I usually just have the one machine (email/browsing) online, and the other ones disconnected unless I need to go online with them, or transfer files between them.

Yep, I noticed the upgrade link, but it doesn't show the upgrade prices (...You have to have already bought a license in order to go further). I'm just curious if upgrading costs equal or more than buying the higher version right away. I'm considering buying the KVM version, but will probably go Pro, in order to include my 3rd machine, so I need to see if it's better for me to just buy Pro right away, or if it would be fine to go KVM for now and upgrade (...assuming the cost is

That sounds awesome, and like it may very well work for me. Thanks for the helpful responses. I really appreciate that. I'm definitely going to try it out, and unless I find some issue, I'll be buying the KVM version (and probably upgrading to Pro once it is clearly proven to work for my situation). Are upgrade costs just the difference between the two version, or is it more expensive to upgrade than to just buy the higher version right away?

Additional questions: 1) If using the middle/'KVM' version of the software, and you have 3 PCs, can you connect to one of the PCs as a KVM, and the other as KM? (...to utilize the KM feature for a third PC, but still use the KVM feature, for the one you are allowed) 2) How is audio transferred between computers? Is the audio data from the non-primary computers transferred via the ethernet cable, or do you have to somehow connect physical audio cables? 3)

Hi, Sean. Thanks for that prompt and very helpful response. Very much appreciated. Okay, that all sounds like excellent news. I'm pleasantly surprised, as I was sure there would be some deal breakers there! Especially with the audio. So, at this point, the only follow-up question that springs to mind, is whether the PCs would have to have the Windows Remote Access service activated. I currently have it off on all the PCs due to the obvious securit

Hi. I've been looking for a replacement/better KVM sharing solution for my setup, but am uncertain about a few things regarding Multiplicity. I'm hoping someone can fill me in on them. I checked out the videos, and 'get it'... but there are some key things I want to be sure of, so please bare with me... I currently have 3 (Win7) PCs, connected via a 4 port D-Link router and a 4 port TrendNet KVM switcher... with one keyboard, monitor and mouse, and one set of speaker
