from Stardock Forums

Hi, is there a way to use KVM mode on Multiplicity for View Only mode and disable keyboard and mouse ? No keyboard, no mouse, only video. Thx

Yes there is.

There are two methods of doing this.

If you want all KVM sessions to always be in view mode then you can go to following registry location

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Multiplicity2\KVM\KVM

and add a string value called "AlwaysViewOnly" and give that a value of 1

OR

If you want to do it for a specific machine connection then find the connection here

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Multiplicity2\Machines\<MACHINE NAME HERE>

And add a String value called ViewOnly and give it a value of 1 in the correct sub folder.

Please note these are HKLM not HKCU

Hi, does this parameter still work for Multiplicity 4?

Thanks

It has not yet been tested but there is no reason it should not work.
