Honestly, at this point I'm done with Synergy. They've taken an free/libre/open source software package closed source, and they've bungled it pretty badly. They aren't getting another penny from me.

I contacted Synergy support, as I paid for a license. They said Synergy2 is discontinued and that one should use Synergy1. They moved my v2 license to v1. So now I am using Synergy1.
