Peter B. 0 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'm using Synergy Pro v1.8.6 (64bit) on Xubuntu 14.04. It's basically working (except the mouse/keyboard lag issue). Â But everytime I restart Synergy (e.g. after booting the computer) it can't connect over SSL, because it "forgot" that I activated it using my serial key. If I press "File > Activate" the key is entered and I just have to hit OK. Then SSL connection works again. Â Is this a bug, or did I miss anything? Â Thanks a lot in advance Link to post Share on other sites
hphp67 0 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Had the same problem with "forgetting the activation" with Synergy Pro on Mint 18 (64bit). However, when I started Synergy with sudo it remebered the activation when started with sudo - didn't help me with my user-account but suspected some rights-issue.  So I started Synergy as su (not sudo!), activated it, exited su to user-account and voilà , it worked.

Christian Mauderer 0 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hello,  I had the same problem on Arch Linux. The nice thing was: The problem existed only on one Arch system but not the other. I have compared the two config files in "$HOME/.config/Synergy/Synergy.conf". On the not working system, there was the lines "userToken=..." and "activateEmail=..." missing and the "edition=1" was set to 0.  I've copied the lines from my working system and now it works. I'm not sure how the "userToken" is generated from the activation key. Eventually a Symless member is able to say more regarding the token?  Kind regards  Christian Link to post Share on other sites
hphp67 0 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Seems my first suggestion didn't help long. But luckily, your's did, Peter. Â I didn't have any entry on my Synergy.conf-file on the Mint-machine for "activateEmail=.." or "userToken.." and I didn't know what to put there, however I had another PC running Synergy, so I looked in the config there (Win7, so I looked in the registry). Â The following changes helped me on Mint 18 (64bit) to keep the Synergy in "Pro"-mode: -activationHasRun=false -activateEmail=[mySynergyEmailAdress] -serialKey=[empty, that means I deleted(!) my key here] Â No "userToken=.." was necessary, as I didn't find one in the Win7-registry either. It seems strange to me and like a bug or so, but it's working fine right now with SSL enabeled. Maybe these changes need to be reversed with a new version, but it's working on 1.8.6.stable-2ab21aa from 12.Dec 2016. Â Kind regards Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Doucette 0 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 OMFG! Thank you! This was happening to me too and was driving me crazy. Tried re-activating the server but not the client. Duh. Â Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites
