I’m running several stores, shall I buy a separate extension for each of them or it is possible to use one extension?

You can use one extension per one live Magento installation. It means that if you run multiple stores on same one Magento installation, you just buy our extension once and then use it for all your stores.
In case your stores run on separate live Magento installations, you need to buy an extension for each of them.

There’s a "404 Not Found" error when opening configuration page.

Please, log out and then log back into the backend, so Magento can refresh permissions.
Offer your customers the products that you know they want
A views count for the products in your store works as a credit system. No matter what kind of things you sell, most customers trust the opinion of the people who already bought something from you. It is fair to assume that most visited products of your store are probably the ones that sell very well. In this case, Most Viewed widget works as some kind of bestseller guide. Your customers can always see an up-to-date, vivid and understandable selection of the products that they will probably like if they are already browsing the store.
The settings for the widget is self-explanatory and don’t require much time, because the widget always uses the latest available information about your products. There is no chance that the products in the tab are outdated or random. The tab itself looks neat, containing a few product cards that are easy to view and use. With the Most Viewed Widget, your homepage will become a better place to buy from.
Name the widget instance on backend
You can also give a custom name to your widget at the backend in the Storefront properties tab. Under this name, the widget will be displayed in the Widget Grid, which makes searching for the right widget more convenient.
Add the name for the product tab
There are two tabs in the settings at Content > Widget that customize the looks and the way the Most Viewed Widget works. In Widget Options, you can add the widget label, that is the name of the widget on the frontend. There is always a default tab name, but you can come up with a CTA, a hashtag, or any brand reference to turn your customer attention to the products.
Set a count to the products in the tab
Show your customers only the top number of your highly anticipated products. You can so that by giving a strict limit to the products displayed, for example, only three of them. No matter what products are and will be on the top of their popularity, the widget will show only three. It is the Product Count option in the Widget Options.
Place the widgets where they belong
Storefront properties allow you to deal with the widget location on the store. Any position is available, and you can adjust a few more minor settings.
- Add as many layout updates as you wish to make widget visible only on specific or on all pages of the store.
- Set an order for the widget in the assigned part of the page.
- Assign it to the particular store if you have a few.
