We received a ticket with a host of questions regarding Multiplicity 4 that I though the community would benefit from the answers.
If I get the Pro licence can I easily switch between each computer being master/slave in KVM mode? For example by default Id set my laptop as the secondary device while at home, but if I was out with my laptop and wanted to connect to my desktop PC at home it would be useful to easily do this!
Yes. You can promote and demote just as you did with MP3.
I see with Pro you only get 5 PC KVM - its not essential, but would it be possible to pay a bit more to unlock more so I could potentially control all computers on my home network? I see you have business licences too but don't need the extra features from that!
I am afraid those features cannot be à la carte \ manipulated in such a way.
Is it possible to have the option to only share KVM over LAN? This would be more secure and better for people like me who have poor internet connection. Streaming a 4K screen naturally takes a lot of bandwidth!
While there are ways around this (VPN), the only native way to have any connection to a Secondary is via 'LAN' connection. While more advanced, you could restrict by subnet as well.
Is it possible to share audio in KVM mode? I know you have 'Multiplicity Audio Sharing' option which is useful in KV mode to stream audio from a second computer, but would be good if there was a separate option in KVM mode too. The Audio Sharing mode still relies on the primary/secondary dynamic (at least in v3) so would not be very practical to keep switching round.
Multiplicity 4 audio does not take into account the control connection type (KVM or Seamless, Primary or Secondary), it's only ever been a 'Sender \ Receiver' relationship. Any PC can be a receiver or Sender. For more on this, please see:

Do you have any plans to release apps on Apple/Google store in future? It would be good to be able to control my PC with my iPad!
There are no immediate plans for an IOS or Android version, no.
Finally, are you planning a Black Friday sale?
