These are some pretty old videos, but the setup beyond the wizard hasn't really changed in years. If people are still looking for the next level of Keyclone setup, these may help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpLrHtebc9Y & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-La9lo0WRs
Keyclone Basic Setup Wizard
For this guide, I’m assuming you’ve already correctly downloaded, installed and licensed Keyclone. If not, start here: https://solidice.com/forums/16/topic/instructions-download-installation-and-activation-for-keyclone
Run the Wizard
- I always recommend that users start by running the Wizard. Even if you need to change settings later, the Wizard will setup most of the configurations for you.
1. From the main Keyclone screen, Click “Setup”
2. From the Setup screen, Click “Wizard” in the bottom, left corner, then click “Next” on the Wizard Welcome screen.
Setup Wizard screen 1 of 5:
3. Select the radio button for your game and the Wizard will enter the default path to your game’s installation and it will enter a nick name for your game. Then click “Next”.
- Note that you cannot change the path within the Wizard. If you need to edit the installation path, there will be an option to change that later in the "command editor" setup options once the Wizard is complete.
Setup Wizard screen 2 of 5:
4. Enter the Battle.net Email Addresses and Account names for each account that you want to use, then click “add”. Once you’ve entered your account information for each account, click “Next”.
- Note that the Wizard will configure the setup to run the number of accounts that you enter here. If you need to edit the account information, there will be an option to change that later in the "command editor" setup options once the Wizard is complete.
Setup Wizard screen 3 of 5:
5. For each monitor you want to use, select the drop down box on the left to select each monitor you want to configure, then select a display option from the buttons on the right. Click “Next” once you’ve entered your screen layout.
- You can mix and match monitors with display setups, e.g. 1 window of each of 2 monitors, 1 monitor wiht a single window and a second monitor with 4 windows, etc. My recommendation is to pick whichever setup seems closest to what you want, and then adjust it later in the "maximizer" setup options once the Wizard is complete.
Setup Wizard screen 4 of 5:
6. Select the appropriate options and click “Next”.
- Note that the wizard uses these options to begin building a list of buttons that will not be broadcast to each window. The list of what keys will and will not be broadcast to each window can be edited later in the "do-not-pass" setup options.
Setup Wizard screen 5 of 5:
7a. At this point if you’ve entered all your information and you’re happy with your selection, you are complete with the basic setup Wizard. You can check “Launch my multi-boxing setup” and click “Finish”.
or
7b. If you’d like to change or fine-tune any options, uncheck the box and click “Finish”. Additional configuration is available by going into the setup options. I really only adjust the "command editor", "do-not-pass", and "maximizer" options myself.
Setup Complete:
Once you’ve completed your setup, click “connect” at the bottom of the main Keyclone screen and keyclone will create the windows specified and load a copy of WoW with your specified account information into each window.
From here it's all a matter of setting up macros and addons to control what you do in game. But that will be a whole other guide.

Download, Installation and Activation for Keyclone
What you need before you start:
- Local Administrator privileges on your machine to install new software
- The ability to use PayPal to purchase a license ($19.99). Note that you do not need to set up a PayPal account, you can make a 1-time payment by credit/debit card through PayPal without an account.
Step 1: Download Keyclone
Download Keyclone direct from the Solid ICE website: https://solidice.com/downloads/windows/keyclone
When prompted, click <Save> or select the drop down and click <Save As> to save the download to a temporary folder.
Note that you need to save the program locally to your hard drive 1st. You cannot just run it as you download it.
Once downloaded click <Open folder> so you can see the downloaded file.
Step 2: Run as administrator
Now right-click “keyclone_1.9o.exe” and select <Run as administrator>
- This is why you could not simply run it as you downloaded it earlier – that would not run the install as administrator (which is needed to create & modify files within c:\program files).
- If you try installing directly anyway, you'll get an error message saying "Could not create "c:\program files\keyclone" - unzip operation cancelled; go back up a step and run it as administrator.
- Keyclone is not recognized by Microsoft (does not have a signed code certificate from the publisher). So Windows 10 will initially block the install to make sure you know what you’re doing. Make sure you only download keyclone from the authors website. You can check the MD5 hash of the downloaded file against the hash provided on the Solid ICE website.
If you receive a prompt saying "Windows protected your PC", click the underlined "More info", then click <Run anyway>
Step 3: Unzip
On the WinZip Self-Extractor, click <Unzip> to set up the Keyclone folder within c:\program files (do not change the default installation location)
If you've done everything correctly up to this point you will see a pop up box stating "45 file(s) unzipped successfully"
Step 4: (optional) create shortcut
Open a file explorer and browse to C:\Program Files\Keyclone
Right-Click on “keyclone.exe” and select <Send to> then <Desktop create shortcut)>
This creates a clickable icon on your desktop – otherwise you’d have to run keyclone from the “Program Files” every time.
Step 5: Purchase a License
Double Click on the shortcut created earlier and enter your administrator credentials, or accept the User Account Control to run Keyclone.
You can close the message of the day, or wait 10 seconds and it will close itself.
Click <get license>
Complete the transaction through the PayPal link. The process is automated and typically takes less than 1 minutes for keyclone to recognize that your license is valid.
Note that the license is forever, but it’s tied to your hardware as represented by the “system id key”. So if you change/upgrade your hardware the license will stop working until you transfer the license to your new system.
Once Keyclone is licensed correctly, you should see the main keyclone screen and all the options on the left will now be clickable.
Discord:
If you have problems or questions, I find the best option is on the Solid ICE discord. There's generally a fair number of users there who can help in addition to Rob aka Tiny, Keyclone's author.

Ugh! This forum won't accept imbedded pictures. So that guide is pretty unreadable. I tried to edit it to describe what was in the photo's, but it seems to be impossible to edit a post. So then I was going to just delete that and make a new post, but I also cannot delete my own post. I'll see if I can get someone else to delete this whole thing and then I can start over.

Personally, I find there’s a good amount of activity on the Solid ICE discord if you’re having any problems or questions.
Not sure if you got resolution or not. There's more people on the Solid ICE discord if you have problems.
I'm gonna try posting a basic how to guide. But if you're stuck, I'd recommend trying the Solid ICE discord. There's at least a few of us who check there regularly, not so many users on these forums.
