Hi,
I installed Multiplicity on 2 Win8 computers, designating one as primary.
When switching to the secondary either by mouse movement or by function key, I get a message that now I am controlling the secondary one, but I cannot see it on my primary monitor.
Help?????
Look at your secondary monitor (make sure it is turned on). Now you have control there with the same keyboard and mouse as the primary. The secondary monitor does not display on the primary. I've just installed it. This is how I use it., Rob
Multiplicity is not a remote desktop application. It is an application that allows your mouse and keyboard to go from one PC's monitor to another PC's monitor just by moving your mouse across computers It's similar to a KVM switch, without the switch and with file and clipboard copying.
You can type on your single, primary keyboard and the key-strokes will go to whichever PC has focus. You will not see the secondary screen contents on the primary monitor.
Once you add the secondary computer on the primary grid representing it is in the physical world, moving your mouse across computers is natural. (http://sd.stardock.com/zubaz/images/2012-11-13_1438.png)
Great, guess I wasted my money and purchased too soon. Description is to vague. I thought it would control/switch monitor also as advertised (instead of a KVM). The pc's I want to connect to are not close enough for me to view the desktop while controlling the mouse.. wonder what the refund policy is. 
Same issue here. 3 Laptops scattered around the house and need to be able to access them from wherever my
current location is. I am hosed as well.
