Hi michael136,

Thank you for your report.

I cannot get the Automatic unlocking of this computer working (Was working previously on version 4.0.x)

Locking the master does lock the others fine.

I can reproduce this and have it logged.

Just to follow up on the copy/paste issue. I too have been this issue since using Multiplicity. I cannot work out why it fails "sometimes", or why it works reliably between certain PCs but not others. I've triple checked the firewall rules.

About the firewall rules, it seems the installer keeps on adding rules each update. I've got 5-8 copies of duplicate rules in my firewall. Is there a way to clean those up nicely? I can't find the MPPortFix.bat you mentioned earlier.

The update includes:

Changes

  • Fix for allowing primary to automatically unlock secondary computers with password (will need to resave if older version used)

Thank you as always for your feedback and support.
