I ran in to similar issues with the demo on a computer that belongs to a domain. If I logged in as different users the demo would think that there were different remaining days of the trial period. All of my glitches went away after I bought the Pro version, uninstalled the demo from all machines and then installed the Pro version.

I ran the demo for a week, and liked Multiplicity. The demo works well on the first installation. Primary PC is Vista Ultimate 32 SP1 and secondary is XP 32 SP3.
