Reply to Mouse cursor does not change to resize double-arrow when hovering over window edges in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

???? basj I am not the OP. I showed that a bug in MP3 continues in MP4: Multiplicity requires that a mouse be plugged into the secondary for KVM mode to work properly while Anydesk (and Windows remote desktop) do not.

Reply to Cannot connect computers on my local network in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

tmikolaj - Did you ping using the computer name or the IP address? This is a "just in case" item. I have two secondaries: one can be pinged one using either IP address or computer name while the other can be pinged only using the IP address. I never tried to set up hostname resolution as I do not need it. The one that can be pinged by name is likely a side effect of it having been set up to share a fil

Reply to Mouse cursor does not change to resize double-arrow when hovering over window edges in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

TLDR: Also occurs in MP4. I found that if I connect a mouse to the secondary the problem goes away. I have a wireless, and just connecting the dongle was all that was needed. ----------------------- First saw the problem last week as I rarely have to resize any windows. Closed MP4 and connected with Anydesk to resize the window. I then went back to MP4 and resize then worked. The secondary ('NIK) is a server that reboots early Tuesday morning - the problem was back whe

Reply to Primary 3-monitor does not show secondary 1-monitor screen in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Your machine xxx.35 shows a bug I reported as the first customer reply in the "Multiplicity 4.07 Released" topic - see that post for more deatails than given below. Your xxx.21 does not show it suggesting there is something about computer configuration that MP4 is not handling (solution might be to ignore config and parse/edit ::www.xx.yyy.xxx removing the colons when getting IP/name). The IP address being used is "::192.168.1.35" instead of "192.168.1.35" - invalid. Try removing that

Sorry SMb did not fix drives. Stardock will have to answer regarding MP3 on Windows 7. IIRC all my machines had Windows 10 when I bought MP3.

Reply to Multiplicity 4 pro: "One time passcode is wrong" in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Stardock folks will have to help regarding transfers via their software. I use MP4 on my computers for maintenance/setup/installing software, and have two shared network drives from one of my secondaries. Recent Windows 11 updates caused the network drives to disconnect or not be found sporadically. Last week I found a "maybe" to try and so far the network drives have behaved without problems. I do not recall the specific details, but the solution was enabling SMB settings - a Google

There is another topic labeled "Multiplicitity 4.08 Beta Feedback" to report problems with 4.08 Beta. This is the 4.07 thread: 4.07 issue.

Reply to Multiplicity 4.07 Released in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

When my laptop is used as a secondary, the right side of the screen is truncated when using the recommended display size setting. Changing the setting to the next size smaller results in a full display in MP4. Truncated (bottom right corner): Not truncated: <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/75/16/7516553/b2c50

Reply to Question regarding licensing between a home PC and Remote in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Yes - there is a button on the MP4 "Configure" page to set it as primary. If you can use Quick Assist to get to the machine at home, that is fine - nothing special about Anydesk ... did not know MS has "Quick Assist". The only reason I had to contact Stardock for the switch to a different computer is that I had not recorded my license key to activate the primary (an email was sent which has all my keys, now preserved). Unfortunately, when a computer is converted from primary to secondary MP4

Reply to Question regarding licensing between a home PC and Remote in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

MP4 does not allow more than one primary at a time. That is not a problem as Stardock permits changing the primary from one computer to another as needed. I wrote about my "main computer" - that is normally the MP4 primary as I have a (nearly) headless game server less than 12" away from my main computer. When I travel, I change the primary to my laptop or "secondary desktop" as needed. I also used Teamviewer until it became bloated. Anydesk would have been ok but I was a "bad boy"- o

Reply to Question regarding licensing between a home PC and Remote in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

I do not have a ROG Ally, but I do this annually when I "migrate" south for the winter for 3 months: I do not know how well it will play games if that is the goal. My main computer stays at the house and I take a laptop and "lesser" desktop with me. The only thing that happens sometimes when my main computer (set up as MP secondary) is locked is that I get disconnected after logging into an account and have to reconnect but nothing is hurt. LOL I actually had to use MP4 to connect to that com

Reply to Start 11 — Shutdown/Restart Options Missing in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

On my remote machines I have the same power buttons available as tvz123, set that way by choice to prevent accidental shutdown of secondaries hundreds of miles away (a virtual LAN is used for Multiplicity). That was done using the group policy editor "gpedit". I had no luck using the info in the thread referenced by Basj. This post is for Basj's info as tvz123 would know if he had used gpedit. To remove the buttons, in gpedit go to User Configuration->Administrative Templates->S

Reply to questions about software capability in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

My question is would I be able to set up an office with a desktop, and then have my laptop at home connect to the desktop remotely? Although not an office-to-home setup I do this over several hundred miles itance between my computers. While the computers must be on the same LAN, it does not have to be via a physcial router - a virtual LAN works, too. I do this. I am not familiar with tailscale; I use Zero Tier and it works fine. Note that I am a non-busine

Reply to Multiplicidad in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Most of the year I use Multiplicity 4 Pro to access a headless computer and a non-headless laptop in the same room, but I travel (preparing today!) and still use MP4 Pro to access computers from 700 miles away! "Multiplicity" should really be named "Multiplicity KM" to avoid confusion - a KVM version is needed when monitors on the primary computer are to be used to view the remotes. I am emphasizing what basj wrote in this regard. "Hello, a question with Multiplicity, can

Reply to Copy Paste Issue in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Did not change any firewall settings. I uninstalled the update, then reinstalled it. Can now copy/paste.

Reply to Copy Paste Issue in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

Copy/paste worked fine on my machines until now. The change that occurred was the computers were updated from Winows 11 24H2 to 25H2. Copy/paste does not work in either direction - there is no copy/paste at all. KVM connections still work normally in other ways. Edit: I was able to uninstall 25H2 from the primary and secondary going back to 24H2. Copy/paste now works again.

Reply to Problem - MP connects but no interaction in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

I reported this problem in the pinned post " Multiplicity 4.07 Released ". I cleared it by removing the secondary from Multiplicity and then setting it up again. Look for two colons to appear in the IP address when Multiplicity finds the computer on its scan. Remove the colons from the address before savi

You gave me an idea when you said one of youtr machines has a small screen. I had used my my 27" monitor on the servers when initially setting them up, and then replaced the monitor with an HDMI dummy. Never thought about changing the display size until your post. Connected to a secondary, changed the display from 2560x1440 to 2560x1080. The display lost height but is full width, no more squinting and no task bar collision. I still would prefer an option in Multiplicity so the s

Reply to Multiplicity 4.07 Released in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

When 4.07 was installed on my primary, I could not connect to a secondary running 4.05. Anydesk to the rescue! I installed 4.07 on the secondary but still could not connect fully: the window came up but neither the mouse nor keyboard was sent from primary to secondary. So I removed the secondary from the primary's list and went through setup to reconnect. The setup is broken, but I finally got through. Again disconnected the secondary and went through the setup to get screenshots for this pos

Reply to Problems getting restarted in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

I responded in a different post since it is a different topic from your display issue. I completely agree with item 1 to give users the option to start in seamless or kvm mode. I used seamless briefly when I first got Multiplicity 3. Went headless for all secondaries (except laptop Rambler) shortly after and never used seamless again. For the second item I partially agree. I am going to switch back and forth between two hats: user and developer (over 15 years ago I retired as

I did not see your followup post after my suggestion; I came to report a problem with 4.07. I would have had to say "don't know what to do for this". Glad you are going. Unfortunately MicroSoft must think users are stupid to want to move the taskbar from the bottom so they removed the capability to shift it in Windows 11. I will give you two options; it might be neither will work for you. Also a suggestion for Stardock that would help. You are not alone in the taskbar problem

Reply to Multiplicity Ports in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

You have jogged a memory from late December 2023 by referring to the ports. When I upgraded to Multiplicty 3 KVM Pro the primary did not connect to secondaries. Stardock has a batch file that fixed the port issue. On support page https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1287946260/Multiplicity+Connection+issues+101 is a link to download a zip file that sets up the ports

I have a similar situation - 2 subnets. Different in that one is virtual so I can connect primary to my secondaries when I am 700 miles away. My computers are using 4.05 - not a beta. Hopefully this is the same in 4.06b ( I need it for when I switch subnets when traveling.) To show you how to get the one you want, I deleted one of my secondaries on my primary computer, then reconnected using the desired subnet. I choose "Configure Multiplicity" from the taskbar icon options, t

After updating my laptop from Windows 10 to Windows 11, Multiplicity will not connect. I uninstalled and reinstalled Multiplicity on both the primary and the laptop secondary; I copied the Multiplicity4_setup_sd.exe file used to reinstall on the primary to the laptop to ensure the same install version. It still fails to connect with the same error message: "The computer appears to be running a different version of Multiplicity." "About" on the primary shows "Version 4.01 Pro" while th
