ShareMouse Shop

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

The feature matrix on the shop page illustrates which feature is included in which edition. If you click a feature title, you get additional info about each feature.

The most important distinction between Standard Edition and Professional Edition is the maximum allowed number of computers and monitors. The Standard Edition allows only two computers where each computer must not have more than one single display.

• How are displays counted?

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.

or if a 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 one single display each.

Examples:

• The Standard Edition is fine for two laptops without any additional display.
• The Standard Edition is fine for one laptop without any additional display plus one desktop with no more or less than one single connected display.
• The Standard Edition is fine for two desktop computers, where each desktop has no more or less than one single connected display.

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.

If any computer has more than one display, you would need the Pro Edition.

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 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 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. Any computer involved with such configuration would require the Pro Edition as more than one display is connected.

You can extensively try out our software free-of-charge before you need to make a purchase decision.

Our demo software which is available in the download allows you to test everything. We don't urge you to buy! Please test the software for suitability and compatibility with your individual system environment.

Yes, we offer discounts for volume purchases: The discount is shown in the shopping cart after you enter the desired quantity. Prices can be reviewed before We do not grant discounts for individuals on request as it would be unfair to all customers paying the regular price. We rather try to meet different budgets by offering different product versions with different feature sets.

We believe that providing individual discounts would be unfair to all users paying the full price. For example, imagine a customer who has been a loyal customer of a retail store for several years, regularly purchasing items at full price. If that customer were to see another customer receive a discount on the same item they just purchased, they may feel resentful and question why they were not given the same discount. This can lead to a loss of customer loyalty and trust in the business.

But you can easily earn the entire license price easily by recommending to others what you like. Please visit our affiliate page for details.

Additionally, we offer freeware versions for a selection of our products.

If you believe we do not meet the right price point, please consider that we do not compete on price but on quality and features. There are other options but this is the route we are going with success to the benefit of our customers for more than 20 years – "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”

The discount coupon feature in the shopping cart is used custom orders, only.
