Let \(n\geq 3\) be a fixed natural number, \(I=[0,1]\) (closed domain) or \(I=]0,1[\) (open domain) and \(\Gamma_n(I)=\left\{(p_1,\dots,p_n)\in I^n:\sum_{i=1}^np_i =1\right\}\). Further let \(m\geq 3\) be another fixed natural number, \(M_1, M_2:I\to \mathbb R\) given multiplicative functions and \(f:I\to \mathbb R\) an (unknown) function. The stability of the functional equation \[ \sum_{i=1}^n\sum_{j=1}^m (f(p_iq_j)-M_1(p_i)f(q_j)-M_2(q_j)f(p_i)) =0,\;(p_1,\dots,p_n)\in \Gamma_n(I),\;(q_1,\dots,q_m)\in \Gamma_m(I) \] is proved in the closed domain, provided that \(M_1\) or \(M_2\) is not the identity function and on the open domain, if \(M_1\neq M_2\). This generalizes the result of \textit{I. Kocsis} and \textit{Gy. Maksa} [Acta Math. Hung. 79, No. 1-2, 39-48 (1998; Zbl 0906.39016)] who proved the stability of the same equation with \(M_1\), \(M_2\) being power functions, on the closed domain.
