This was an issue for me this morning when my recently installed copy of UltraMon had expired.

Instead of purchasing a license (which I would be happy to do, but cannot on this workstation as it belongs to the company and was denied), I was introduced to an open-source alternative here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dualmonitortb/

Not as feature-complete as UltraMon - though provides me with a working taskbar on my second monitor.

Anyone on HN know of more software to extend the taskbar? Open-source, free or commercial.

Buy the license, crack UltraMon. This way you have what you want and your karma is clean. :) I used to use UltraMon on my desktop all the time, before moving to OSX. I find it preposterous that the multi monitor task bar is so hard to implement that it wasn't worth doing until Windows 8.

Your employer allows you to install UltraMon on their workstation, but does not allow you to pay for a copy? Or are they willing to install freeware, but not commercial tools, even if you pay for them? Or do they deem UltraMon detrimental for your productivity?
