Grab it while you can (not that I believe that it will stop being free).
To Install and Configure it
You only need to download the utility on 2 computers, run (your favorite AV and then run) the setup; use the host name and software-generated key (that you'll have to write down in the second computer); after that the master computer performs a quick location config (so that "the mouse knows where to go").What's it good for?
This is a productivity tool that allows you sharing a same mouse (and keyboard) in several computers without having to be switching between those hardware devices.
You just need to say where the other computers are (physically, in relation to the "master computer") and the mouse will move there (without borders). The tool will allow you also to copy text (and files!) easily between (up to) 4 computers.

It's useful for some of these scenarios:
- Testing (if you record results on a system and you need to test interactively on another). Grab text from that error on one place and paste it on the place you have the test management tool. Precious time saving.
- Programming: when you need to deploy files on servers or other Windows boxes.
- Whenever you have 2 PCs on your desk and you need to frequently change from one to another.
- (fill in your scenarios here).

Another tool that works well is Synergy (and this is cross-platform).
