When dragging a second computer onto Seamless grid the previous one jumps out

Multiplcity 4 Beta Seamless Use

October 11, 2024 12:56:05 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi,

When I have added a second secondary computer to the collection, when I drag it onto the grid, the first computer moves into the 'Add Computer' list and if I drag it back on the second one moves out, I don't seem to be able to have two secondary PC's on together.

Please can someone advise why this might be?

Regards,

Dave G

If you delete both from the grid, then from the sidebar, re-add \ configure them, does it still happen?

Nope, I have removed them both and added them afresh and as soon as the second computer is added it throws the other out no mater how I try.

Thanks for this report.  We have reproduced this with the MP 4 non pro version and will have this resolved for you in an updated beta next week.  It is a legacy check from when the base version of Multiplicity only allowed one secondary.

The 30 day trial is a pro version.

This has happened to me as well.  Tried the upgrade to Version 4.  This hung or crashed when trying to add secondary computers (3 installs).  Rolled back to version V3.57 (direct install), then V3.6 (installed via ObjectDesktop).  Both found the 2 other computers and connected without issue, but when adding to the grid, only one is accepted. Adding a second kicks out the first.  

Disappointed.  V3.57 was working fine previoiusly.

So is this a beta or full version If the pro is a 30 day trial?

The beta is the full release. Multiplicity 4 is in Beta testing meaning that it is still in development but the license will become the full release once development is finished.

There are currently two versions of Multiplicity 4. Regular version and Pro version (the Pro has extra features such as kvm). If you are trialing Multiplicity via Object Desktop that one includes the regular version as the Pro version will not be included with OD. Outside of using OD you can trial the pro version for 30 days.

I'm not 100 percent what issue you are referring to. But I do know that copy and paste was very limited in the km / cheapest tier of multiplicity 3. I believe this is changed / fixed in the regular tier version of Multiplicity 4 as copy and paste is now added in all versions.

However, I am running the pro version so I haven't tested it first hand. In the pro version I have definitely used a lot of copy and paste via KVM and it works great. I'm actually a bit surprised how fast I can transfer a file without any wires.

For your 3.60 installs (Latest in 3 is not 3.57), you activated with eMail address and password.  That defaulted to the Object Desktop version on your account, KM, which only has 1 Seamless Secondary.

Go to your account page

https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products

to get your KVM key.  Go to the About tab in MP3 to change the license on the Primary.

Thank you.  This resolved the issue with M3.  I didn't realize Multiplicity installed via OD license was different.  (Didn't remember a specific license for the KVM.)

Love the avatar! Star Trek Original seems a bit cheesy now but it really was ahead of it's time.
