Info

Secondary PCs cannot control Primary PCs.

During the installation process, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor must be connected to each computer. Seamless-connected Secondaries will still need a monitor connected after installation and setup.  The KVM-connected computers will not require a monitor, keyboard, or mouse after installation and setup.

...

Take note of the following information as it will be required when configuring the Primary computer:

  • Computer name

  • The IP address of your Secondary (located in the lower left of the window)

  • The Passcode (case sensitive)

...

The activation menu will appear with options for starting a trial, purchasing Multiplicity, or entering details to activate the product.  Click here if you need more information on what you choose.

Activating Multiplicity

After installing Multiplicity as a Primary for the first time, you will be prompted with the following choices (Secondary computers do not require activation)

...

If you are still in a 30-day trial period but have since purchased a license, right-click on the Multiplicity icon in the system tray located on the taskbar on the Primary computer and select 'Configure Multiplicity'.

...

Select the "About" tab and press the 'Change License' button.

...

After selecting 'Enter Product Key' you will be prompted with the following menu:

...

Enter the product key and email address associated with the product.  Alternatively, if you created an account when purchasing the product, you can use the 'Stardock account' link to just use your email address and password to activate.

Note: If you have an Stardock account, and multiple multi-key licenses of Multiplicity associated with it, it would be prudent to use the Product Key activation method.  Doing so would use that specific license opposed to a round robin method (cycle through registration) used when you use the Stardock account method.

Clicking 'Activate' will activate the product on this machine.

If you have trouble with the in-application activation or are trying to activate it on a PC that does not have Internet access, you will be provided with instructions for activating offline.
