Is it possible that using Presentation cue the server and the client on a same Mac?

Aqui 10 years ago • updated by Nominari (Staff) 10 years ago • 1

Hi,

I'm thinking about using presentation cue for some presentation.

I just have one laptop of Mac and one external screen.

then,

I'd like to show the client on the external screen for presenters.

and, I'm going to control the server on the laptop.

the screen is connected from the laptop, and external mode, not mirroring mode.


so, I mean I want to make sure that

It is possible to use the client and the server on the same mac.

in this case, I don't need any network connections.


I already checked softwares but it shows an error.

I couldn't find the reason,

I guess that I don't buy the software or It's not possible to use on the one Mac.

If the reason is from license problem, I'd like to buy it.

but If it isn't I don want to buy.

that's why I need to know the reason before I purchase.


thanks, and best regards.

Hi,


sure - you can run presenterCue Server and Client on the same computer. That´s actually the most common configuration. From the user perspective you won't need any networking in this case - but internally the Server and the Client always communicate via network protocol with each other - wether you´re running the client "locally" or not.


I guess you're getting the message to disconnect one or more clients - this is a typical sign, that you're either running an unlicensed / free version or that you exceeded the max number of client connections (the Standard License allows only one client - local or not, whereas the Extended License allows a maximum of 5 clients.)


Hopefully this answer is helpful for you - if you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
