Multiplicity interface / monitor configuration

Hello,

I'm thinking about buying the Multiplicity software because it works better than synergy in some areas that I want to use software like this for.  But I have a question first.  In the trial version I am only able to set the secondary screen to the left or the right of the primary computer.  Is this the same for the pro version?  If so it will not meet my needs.

 

I have 3 computers set up, this is how my monitor configuration looks (P for primary comp, S for second comp, T for third comp):

 

--------------------------------------------

|      S1       |                 |      T1       |

--------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------

|      P3       |      P1       |      P2       |

--------------------------------------------

 

So what I want to be able to do is have the top edge of P3 go to S1 and the top edge of P2 go to T1.  Would be even more awesome if I can make the right edge of S1 go to the left edge of T1 but that is not necessary.  This configuration is relatively easy to set up in Synergy but I cannot find anyway to do it in the trial version of Multiplicity.

Of course resolutions are not exactly the same but that isn't a big deal as long as I can get the top edges of the correct monitors to go to the correct screens.  Just in case you need to know though resos are:

P1 1920 x 1200

P2 1920 x 1080

P3 1650 x 1050

S1 1280 x 1024

T1 1280 x 1024

 

Would like to know if it's possible before I pay for something that cannot do what I need.

 

Thanks!

If P1-P3 are all the same machine, this would not be possible with Multiplicity.  The configuration in the grid mode available in the pro version allows for machines to be located in 4 cardinal directions (up, down, left, right).  This is done on a per-machine basis, not a per-monitor one, and multiplicity treats all monitors in a multi-monitor setup as one large display, configuration wise.
