I suggest asking the GMs by submitting a petition under Rules & Policies -> EULA and Terms of Service for an official answer. In the mean time just play it safe and do not use it

This is the quote that they are using to validate. Have to say that if it's real then fair play, seems to just make life easier, you still have to be there after all.
Quote:
Hello there,
To make a long story short, automation of gameplay is not permitted; players must be manually issuing the commands to control their character(s) at all times.
Our stance on programs such as Synergy and hardware/software combination such as the G15 keyboard is that they can be legitimately used as long as gameplay isn't automated. Synergy allows you to move your mouse cursor to multiple different monitors which are hooked up to different computers and we do not have any qualms with players using the program for this purpose. If Synergy was used in some way to control your accounts for you without a need for you to be at your keyboard, then that would not be allowed, but I am not aware of such a functionality with this program. If Synergy is used in conjunction with some other program to automate gameplay, it would not be permitted. G15 "macros" which allow you to group different commands into one keypress are allowed. For example, setting your G1 key to press F1, F2, F3 and so on for you with one key press is allowed (although this specific command is not as useful as it was before now that we have weapon grouping).
An exceedingly complex G15 macro which would effectively automate gameplay, such as mining, without a need for the player to be present at his keyboard would be against the EULA, regardless of whether the player utilizing said macro is sitting at his keyboard at the time!
Lastly, multiboxing is allowed, and programs designed for multiboxing in mind which allow a player to manually issue the same command to multiple game clients at the same time are allowed. In the same vein as what has been stated above, the player must be manually sending the commands; if a program is automating those commands for you, then it would be considered a breach of our EULA.
I hope this clears up this matter.
Best regards, Senior GM Lelouch EVE Online Customer Support

The same quote also explains why Innerspace doesn't stand a chance in hell to be legit.

But by this statement the G15 should also be! The key here is that 'because it can' is not the same as you CHOOSING to do so.
This is a very fine line I know but that would be why the OP posted. I personally have no intention of automating anything, like the others here is's about the ability to multi-box in a better way then offered by the current client.
To be honest I am not that fussed either way. Just want to know if I am allowed to use the multi-screen features of this product or not.
Also, the petition option is a bit of a cop-out from CCP as we are not allowed to discuss that on the forums so the answer is a one-2-one thing. Can't we just can a direct answer yes or no ?

Tbh, it has less to do with being contrarian and more to do with people presenting horrid (or no) arguments. If you really want to get me going, post something I agree with but do it in a horribly stupid wayà

I know Im not allowed to write the response from the EVE GM, but all i can say is its allowed to use the innerspace software for now !
This link is to EVE forum, and it came from innerspace support staff. http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1291641&page=10#274
Short story is that using G15, Synergy or Innerspace only makes manual inputs go to another client/pc. All automation is offcause against the EULA.

Oh, and for the record, Innerspace doesn't let you multibox ù it's third-party software that lets you load apps that interact with the game. Since even the first step in that chain is against the EULA/ToS, you're in trouble even before you load the multiboxing addons. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

The problem is that they're conveniently misrepresenting what that quote says and what their software does. GM Lelouch says that "If [software] was used in some way to control your accounts for you without a need for you to be at your keyboard, then that would not be allowed, but I am not aware of such a functionality with this program." For Synergy, it might be true that this functionality doesn't exist; for Innerspace, it does, which squarely places it in "not allowed" territory. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

no you are wrong if there is no action against the EULA there are no reason for ban one can build a bot that make a alliance whit over 9000 bots to take sov in 0.0 but if you (the player) dont start the bot there is no reason for ban, if you have this eve_bot_9000 application open while you play eve is not against the EULA

There is a GM quote on their website (including a source link, so you can verify) where it says that multiboxing is allowed. So yes, this software is legal until another GM tells you otherwise. End of story.

I petitioned this a while ago, and asked the senior GM who responded to post on the forums to confirm it:
http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1291641&page=10#274
EDIT: for those too lazy to read: It's allowed.
The important bit:
Originally by: GM Lelouch
Lastly, multiboxing is allowed, and programs designed for multiboxing in mind which allow a player to manually issue the same command to multiple game clients at the same time are allowed. In the same vein as what has been stated above, the player must be manually sending the commands; if a program is automating those commands for you, then it would be considered a breach of our EULA.
I hope this clears up this matter.
Best regards, Senior GM Lelouch EVE Online Customer Support

Again, the problem is that multiboxing isn't what this software does ù it's what one particular plugin for it does. That quote they're using (which has already been repeated numerous times) is rather judiciously interpreted to say that if part X is allowed, then all of it is allowed.
As it happens, that is actually something the exact same GM quote says is not true. So,, sure, it's legal until a GM says otherwise ù it's just that the exact same quote they're using as a justification can be said to be a GM saying otherwise.
The important bit: Originally by: GM Lelouch If Synergy was used in some way to control your accounts for you without a need for you to be at your keyboard, then that would not be allowed, but I am not aware of such a functionality with this program.
Synergy (in this case) is allowed because it offers no capacity or functionality to automate/bot, all it does is let you multibox. Innerspace, on the other hand, does provide that capacity and functionality and it does more than let you multibox, which means that this particular statement proves absolutely nothing about the legality of Innerspace ù in fact, it rather suggest that it isn't legal.
Yes, with the right addons, you can use Innerspace to multibox, but that doesn't mean that Innerspace as a whole is legal, since it lets you do so much more. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

Are we talking about ISboxer here? Haven't used it in ages but IIRC it doesn't let you use macros (at least not the sort that are against the EULA). If we're talking about a different plugin then the point is moot, because saying innerspace isn't allowed because one of its plugins can be used to macro is like saying windows isn't allowed because certain programs written for it allow you to, well, macro. |

The point remains the same. Unless either ISboxer or innserspace are on their own usable as a game-automating macro the point is moot. Neither program can be used to macro, so they do not violate the EULA. Period.
EDIT: Unless of course you download and use whatever addons there are to automate gameplay, but that should go without saying. |

Yes it is...it's a framework for whatever you want a computer to do

Wait for a GM to say something, but for the most part I don't see why it would be illegal used it in Everquest for the longest time could press a G-Key and it would bring a second, third, or fourth client to the foreground and drop those clients in the background to 5 fps. Looking at it now its come along way.
Lax is a good guy always has been and the program with no plugs does not do very much save for what has been already said here.
Personalty as much as I love it I would remove the link and await a GM's response, but I don't see why they would say you couldn't as long as you don't attempt to write a bot or something similar to those means.
If the GM's say yes please respond to this post I am curious myself and well have not really tried to promote it for eve just because I didnt know myself, but I can say it was GREAT for Everquest and any issues I ever had were responded promptly by Lax himself. Three years using it and I can say nothing bad about it.

Synergy (in this case) is allowed because it OFFERS no capacity or functionality to automate/bot, all it does is let you multibox. (no, you misread what the GM typed - he said 'used' - not 'offers'. This is an important point) Innerspace, on the other hand, does(you mean CAN) provide that capacity and functionality and it does more (again here you confuse the word 'does' with the more appropriate term 'can do') than let you multibox, which means that this particular statement proves absolutely nothing about the legality of Innerspace ù in fact, it rather suggest that it isn't legal.
Yes, with the right addons, you CAN use Innerspace to multibox, but that doesn't mean that Innerspace as a whole is legal, since it lets you do so much more.
I've capitalized the important bit. The fact that the ability EXISTS is not important - it is whether that ability is USED. The GM stated himself if it were USED in such a fashion, it is not allowed. People who use Isboxer just for the amazing screen switching and mouse broadcasting are fine. It basically is just a way to run synergy on a single screen/box. Innerspace CAN be used to run bots - however it's not as simple/easy as it used to be. As long as you don't use the bits of innerspace that are against the EULA you are fine. This has been stated multiple times in multiple links in this very thread.
Isboxer = fine (as verified by GMs)
Certain G15 keyboards CAN be used to repeat actions w/out human interaction. Using the keyboard for its normal functions, and just having one plugged into your computer is not against the EULA. USING one for that function is.

Just don't come crying when your fleet of macro miners get banned for using third party software that only 'can' be used for botting.

That's just it, it CAN'T. Neither ISboxer nor InnerSpace are macro programs, the complaint here is that there are certain, separate, plugins FOR inner space that can be used to macro, which is meaningless, because there are separate programs FOR windows that let you macro. Doesn't make the base program illegal. |

Okay, that's wonderful. I wasn't arguing with you about the validity of the program and personally, were I to use a program like Innerspace, I'd use it with the knowledge that it isn't directly supported or sanctioned by CCP and that they can and very well might ban me for using it. I'd also keep in mind that in doing so they'd be perfectly within their rights. That they choose not to ban people for using Synergy (or even Innerspace) at the moment is no guarantee that they won't decide to start banning people for using it in the future, nor is it a guarantee that they will find what you're using it for acceptable.
And, as such, again, just don't come crying when your fleet of macro miners get banned for using third party software that only 'can' be used for botting.

I've petitioned it, as have others. We have official statements from a senior GM stating that multiboxing programs are allowed. Also stop saying that these programs 'can' be used for botting, because they 'can' not. You need to go out and actually download something separate in order to be able to use it for botting, it's literally exactly the same as saying that windows should not be allowed because you can download third party software for it (note that from a ccp POV, windows IS a third party program, just sayin)
PS while CCP is technically allowed to ban you for anything (and that includes not having a reason at all), having petitons in your petition history and official posts on the forums saying something is allowed is a pretty good way of making sure you don't get banned for it.

Windows is the operating system. It's endorsed by CCP for use with EVE. Same with Snow Panther (or whatever the Mac OS is called). Sure, if you want to be semantic about it you could, perhaps call them third party software but there is a fairly big difference between software around which EVE has been created and software that allows you to install modules which can circumvent the designed in-game experience and by extension, 'can' (just because I know you love it so much) be used for automation and more often than not is.
It was an extreme example, but a valid one nonetheless. The issue here is that we're not even talking about a program that CAN be used to macro, because neither ISboxer no innerspace come with that functionality. Claiming that they're illegal because there are other, completely separate program that you can download in order to macro is irrelevant. THAT program is illegal, but without actually having a macro-whatever program installed there is no threat of automation, and isboxer is just a keycloner, which CCP have said is legal.
Point is: The programs in question are not against the rules. Being able to add things to said programs that would allow them to break rules does not change this. The whole point of the OS comparison was to illustrate how absurd the base idea is by applying it to a more widely used system. A similar example would be a g15 keyboard, some variations of which CAN be used for macroing purposes, but that have still explicitly been OKed by CCP, because unless you actually use it to break the rules, it's not against them. |

Why are people worried about Innerspace being against the EULA? If it is one must ask one's self, "Is its use enforceable by CCP?". The answer of course is "No". If you use it purely as a convenience for multiple clients in no way will CCP ever know. So why not save yourself some trouble, stop asking if it's legit and just use it. Really, CCP isn't going to show up to your house and beat you senseless. They'll never know.
And Tippia, using your logic for Innerspace being in violation of the EULA, so is your computer since it can be used to automate aspects of the game, create additional UI, etc, etc, etc. Perhaps using a computer to play is in violation?

I am confused, all this program looks like it is doing is setting up mutliple screens for you. Kind of like a mini VPS but all under the same single OS platform. I don't see how that is not allowed as long as you not botting.
