How may we assist you?

Yes, a license always includes maintenance for the selected maintenance term.

This ensures that you can always use the latest software. You cannot purchase a license without maintenance.

If maintenance is expired for your license, you can renew maintenance at discount.

The maintenance term starts with the month of license key delivery.

License keys are dynamically generated at the time of purchase. The end of maintenance is branded into the license key and can be read that out from the first set of 4-digits, e.g. "0421" means April, 2021.

Yes, you can release a license association from a user, a computer or a USB stick at any time to use it on another device (or for another user).

The base currency is US$.

If you are ordering from outside the USA, you may want to stick with the base currency. The exchange rate of your payment provider is most probably better than the rate of our eCommerce service. We have no influence over the rate eCommerce using for exchanges.

If the Mac wakes up unwantedly because ShareMouse is running, disable option "Wake for network access" in the macOS Battery preferences:

Yes, we would be happy to coterm the maintenance term of your existing licenses with a new purchase.

You would purchasing new licenses together with a maintenance renewal of your existing licenses. Remaining maintenance of existing licenses are credited.

You will then receive a complete set of new license keys that have the same maintenance term.

You can also upgrade to a higher product edition at the same time.

What to do:

Please send us the list of your existing license keys, as well as the number and desired product variation (Standard, Pro, Enterprise Edition, NamedUser/ConcurrentUser).

Requirements:

• Purchase of at least 10 new PhraseExpress Pro/Enterprise Edition licenses.
• The edition of the new licenses must be at least the same as the edition of the existing licenses.
• Existing licenses of varying product editions will be streamlined to a common product edition.
• The maintenance period must exceed the maintenance period of the existing licenses.
• Orders can only be placed directly, not in the online shop.

We have found out, that a macOS system task seem to hang if ShareMouse launches a system program required to check for issues created by the macOS feature "Secure Input".

Work around: If you experience high CPU load, disable option "Secure Input warning" under "Settings » Keys" in the ShareMouse settings.

• What does the "Secure Input" notification mean?
• ShareMouse keyboard settings

If you control a Windows PC from a Mac (or vice versa), keep in mind that those run on different operating systems with different keyboard layout. While most letters are at the same position, special characters such as the at-symbol (@) are entered completely different on either OS.

Windows: ALTGR+Q (alternatively CTRL+ALT+Q)

MacOS: ALT+L

To make things even more complicated, the CTRL and CMD keys are exchanged in MacOS vs Windows. This means, if you want to remote enter the at-symbol on a Windows PC from your Mac, you would need to type CMD+ALT-Q on your Mac. As the ALT key is the same on both OS, you would need to press ALT+L on Windows to remotely enter the at-symbol on the Mac.

You can remap the keys CTRL, CMD and ALT in the ShareMouse for Mac program settings.

Make sure to actually register your purchased license key in the software. The act of purchasing alone does not license the software. You need to register the license key you received in the delivery email in the software. See the product documentation how to register the license key.

The "About" window informs if maintenance of your license key is expired. If you get license notifications because you are using a software version that has been released after maintenance expiration, you would need to renew maintenance for your license.

Our software is available in different product variations (Standard, Pro, Enterprise) with different sets of features as advertised in the comparison table of the respective shop webpage.

A special feature of our software is that you can try features of all editions, even if you purchased and registered a smaller edition that does not include such feature of any higher edition. However, in such case you will get occasional license reminders which list the features that triggered the license reminder. Those are not included in your license.

This approach allows you to consider upgrading to higher product variation even after your initital purchase decision.

Options:

• If you already purchased the higher edition, make sure to actually deregister the license key of a smaller edition and register the license key of the higher edition.
• Consider to upgrade to a higher edition.
• Discontinue using features that are not included in your license.

For ShareMouse it is completely irrelevant if the input device is connected through a cable or a bluetooth connection. It does not touch anything bluetooth related but uses the mouse as reported by the operating system. On the software side the input device software driver is responsible for anything hardware connection related (and of course the hardware itself).

You would need to check the input hardware and its software driver for connection issues.
