Multiplicity is the cats pajama's, but...

I liked this application so much I gave up my OS for it.

I know, nuts  !!.

It was so simple to install and great to work with, especially the shared clipboard, what at difference that makes, I don't have to map drives anymore or work through the explorer.   

After puchasing the pro version it worked seemless and fast. I decided to upgrade my MB on the secondary machine. I gave it to the guys in a computer shop and they kept getting an annoying message at boot up that my trial version of Multiplicity had expired. I never saw that message come up after purchase, I didn't know that the message still comes up once you diconnect from the primary. So of course they uninstalled it.

When I get it back, of course I reinstalled the application. Well for the life of me I could not get these two computers to hook up. Primary sees Secondary, just can't hook up, I even changed the ports and of course the firewall settings. After 4 days of working endless stradegies and sending e-mails to Stardock (still to this day no reply) I gave up and reformatted my HDD and reinstalled the OS. Anyone who puts a lot of details into their desktop and has more than 30 applicaitons running, knows what kind of sacrifice that was.    Once the new OS was in place, it popped up like a charm.

It bothers me that the application somehow embeds something into the OS from the trial version that doesn't seem to go away.  I also noticed that when I purchased the full pro version and installed it, the public trial version was still on my machine along side the pro....but it never told me to uninstall, maybe I missed that somewhere in the instructions after purchase.

So if anyone here knows what happened, I'd sure like to read your opinion. I'm scared to disconnect the two machines in case I loose the application again.

Does anyone else think that it's because of the trial version that I was having problems.
