Is your trial period over?

And you entered your license code in System Preferences -> Synergy -> About -> Enter serial number?

Is it crashing? If so, is a crash report being written to ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/?

Have you tried the basic trouble-shooting tips (applicable to any software, not just Synergy) at https://wincent.dev/s/bugs/ ?

The same questions as I asked previously apply here:

Is your trial period over?

If you have a license, did you enter your license code in System Preferences -> Synergy -> About -> Enter serial number?

Is it crashing? If so, is a crash report being written to ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/?

If by "repair rights" you refer to the repair permissions feature of the disk utility, that is probably a bit of a long shot.

So is it actually crashing? That's just a warning message and doesn't indicate a crash. If it crashes you should find a corresponding log in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/ (seeing the log would be very helpful).

Otherwise, pretty much the same questions apply here:

If you can post detailed answers to these questions I will be able to help.

Although Synergy licenses are per-machine licenses, there is no network checking or any other mechanism that would prevent you from using the same license on two machines.

I doubt that the CGSession warning is related to the problem, but I don't see that warning in my own logs so I can't investigate that avenue any further.

So there are no crash reports. Is it actually crashing? What happens if you run it from the console; what gets printed? For example, if installed (for all users) in /Library/Preferences/, you would type:

Code:cd /Library/PreferencePanes/Synergy.prefPane/Contents/Resources Synergy.app/Contents/MacOS/Synergy

If install in your home directory it would be:

Code:cd ~/Library/PreferencePanes/Synergy.prefPane/Contents/Resources Synergy.app/Contents/MacOS/Synergy

Still wondering if anyone who has participated in this thread has tried the basic trouble-shooting tips (applicable to any software, not just Synergy) on this page?:

Without more information the problem can't be fixed.

At the risk of sounding repetitive, I am still wondering if anyone who has participated in this thread has tried the basic trouble-shooting tips (applicable to any software, not just Synergy) on this page?:

No one has answered that question yet.

It also seems that nobody who has seen the problem has tried running Synergy from the console as described above.

Without more information the problem can't be fixed.

There is now a ticket in the bug and feature requests database to track this issue:
