A special feature of our offer is that maintenance also includes all new major versions with new functions.

• How are displays counted?

This page illustrates, how displays are counted for ShareMouse:

This is a computer with one single display:

Note: The integrated laptop display counts as a display.

The Standard Edition is fine for two computers with a maximum total of four displays. Any other setup would require the Pro Edition.

This is a computer with two displays:

This is a laptop with one integrated display plus an additional monitor (aka "display") connected to that laptop.

Important notes:

Below list is obvious for most, but our experience showed that it is not clear to everyone:

• Above example doesn't show one but two displays because the internal display of the laptop is also counts as a display.
• A display is counted, even if you do not or only occasionally look at it.
• A display is counted, even if a laptop lid is closed (as it is still connected and reported to the OS).
• A display is counted, even if you "don't use it for ShareMouse". ShareMouse does not know if you really don't use it or if you just claim not using it.
• A display is counted, even if you never or rarely move the mouse to it.
• A display is counted, even if you plug it in for "just a short time".
• A display is counted, even if you disable any displays while it is still detected by the operating system. You can review the number of displays detected by ShareMouse in the Display Properties.
• A Virtual Reality display device (such as Oculus Rift) counts as a display.
• An iPad used as a display for your computer (e.g. macOS "sidecar" feature) counts as a display.
• A display still counts as a display, even if we may use the alternative term "monitor" or "screen".
• A display is counted, even if you "don't know, why it is connected anyway". Yes, Rob.
• A display is counted, if it is connected to a computer but not currently used for that computer (e.g. if you have a monitor switch, that can switch a single monitor for use with multiple computers or if a display has multiple hardware inputs). If the operating system recognizes such display, ShareMouse also recognizes and counts it as a separate display for each computer.

This is a computer with three displays:

This example shows a laptop with one built-in display plus two connected external monitors.

The result is three monitors. One Laptop, one monitor and another monitor equals 3 (three) displays. Such configuration would require the Pro Edition as more than two display are connected to one PC.

No, the software is no subscription but a single purchase with a one-time payment. There is not recurring payment.

Yes, licenses are valid life-time for all software versions which are released during your maintenance term.

Make sure to keep a local backup of your software installation file as we do not maintain a repository of older software versions.

Only maintenance (free updates, upgrades and new versions) expire after the end of the selected maintenance term, but you can continue to use your existing installation without expiration.

No, a "money-back guarantee" means, that you first have to pay, then you may find out, that the product does not meet your expectations and you would have to claim your money back. We offer you a more comfortable approach:

We don't want your money first - We want your confidence first!
