Transferring your License

Current licenses of Multitouch can be active on 3 Macs at a time.

To remove a license from a Mac, for use on another Mac:

  1. Open the About window (Help | About Multitouch in the status bar menu)
  2. Click Deactivate License

Transferring your settings

Multitouch gestures and keyboard shortcut configurations are automatically synchronized via iCloud, although there are some minor parts of the configuration that do not automatically synchronize, like bash commands if you have those configured.

There's a checkbox Sync gesture config in iCloud for this setting, and if you want to just transfer all of your settings without having the gestures synced, then you can uncheck that box and copy over the plist that holds all of the Multitouch configuration to the new device. It's located at

~/Library/Preferences/com.brassmonkery.Multitouch.plist
