Cannot use my Mac laptop as remote anymore

Cannot use my Mac laptop as remote anymore. when opening Roon, it tells me «this device» as Roon server, and I am unable to change to the other laptop which I want to use as server. Trying to download a Roon remote for this mac laptop, but it does not seem possible. Help, please.

Hey @Jacques_Hardy,

Thanks for writing in - it’s good to see you on the community again!

When you connect to your Mac running Roon Server, head to Roon Settings > General > then click the ‘X Disconnect’ button:

This should take you to another window showing you your list of available devices running Roon Server. Do you see your PC you’d like to use as your server on this list?

If so, you should be able to connect to it from here. Afterwards, you can close Roon Server running on your Mac via your Mac taskbar:

Let me know if this helps! :+1:

Thank you Benjamin. Unfortunately, after having «disconnected», I do not see the PC I normally use as Server. The only thing I see is «This Mac».

Hello again Benjamin. This morning I saw that had somehow activated another licence on my Mac laptop. I desactivated it and now everything seems to be working fine. Thank’s for your help!

Hi @Jacques_Hardy,
Great I’m glad Roon is working for you again! I’ll mark this thread as solved for you.
