Title: connection issue to virtual machines
Post by mconsidi on May 7th, 2008, 1:12pm
Hi,
we run USB over Network as a means to connect virtual machines to two HASP devices. Unfortunately, we had another machine connected that seems to have been shut down without closing the connection to the server properly.

We disabled and reenabled the affected device, which seems to have closed the connection, but now we are unable to reconnect the appropriate virtual machine. Meanwhile, another device is still working appropriately, and connected to a different vm.

What is the correct way to deal with this issue?

Thanks!

Hi,
It should handle it correctly.
Try to unshare 2 devices,
then remove devices on client side (if there are any devices still present),
then unplug and plug devices physically,
share devices
and try to connect them again
(note: you can use "connect by Device ID" option on the client side, to connect specified HASP (if your HASPs are identical).

Thanks!

This has gone downhill, unfortunately. The Windows is now unable to properly recognize the hasp devices, and the USB over Network server is giving me an error message when I try and start it up.

Program cannot start because of the following error: Error (2).Module: FtShellApp (216).

Hi,
Yes, it seems you need 3.4 version to fix the issue.
This version will be published in 2 days.

Thanks!

Will this require us to buy a new license?

No, your key will work fine there.

Hello,

we have the same problem on a normal windows 2000 pc.
When exactly will the new version be published?

Hello,
We've released 3.4 version of USB over Network.
Feel free to try how it works for you.

Thanks!

Thanks!
A little bit of a tangent, will there be any incompatibility issues if we do not update all the clients at once?

Will prior versions of clients be able to use the 3.4 server?

Hi,
USB over Network 3.3.10 should work fine with 3.4.
In any case, it's recommended to upgrade both sides.

Thanks!

Ours wasn't working until we upgraded the clients, but our virtual machines are running 3.4 now and working great! We'll definitely post if something goes wrong.
